Buying locally grown and produced plants, animals, fruits, and vegetables, and puchasing the products and services of these from local farms is one of the greatest ways to celebrate National Agriculture Day on March 20. Farmers and the farmland they preserve are so important in every commmunity. There is a National Agricultrul Day Organization that can be accessed at www.agday.org/. Each year they plan a wide variety of activities and events on National Agriculturel Day and during National Agriculture Week from March 16-22.
Teachers, agricultural and non agricultural organizations and governmental agencies are encouraged to procclaim and celebrate this national week and day for our country and worlds' farmers. Most people know so little about farming it is important to constantly educate them on the benefits of sustaining and preserving farms and farmers.
