Happy National Ag Day!

By steve | Farm and Garden, Uncategorized | 0 comment | 25 March, 2014 | 0

National Ag Day, today March 25, is a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America join together to recognize the contributions of agriculture.

Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis.  By building awareness, the Agriculture Council of America is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture.

Each American farmer feeds more than 144 people … a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more – and doing it better. – Agriculture Council of America

The HGC would like to recognize the agriculture producers in the St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and nationally! Thank you for being our farmers!
