Ag Day is a historic event that promotes recognition and appreciation for all those involved in American agriculture. Celebration of this event will take place on Tuesday, March 20, 2018. Every spring, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and others across the country join together in recognition—and appreciation—of agriculture in our country.
