National Ag Week celebrated March 17-23

National Agriculture Week is celebrated every year in March on dates announced by the Agriculture Council of America. This year, the holiday commences on March 17 and ends on March 23.
The week celebrates and acknowledges the agricultural industry and the role it plays in stabilizing the economy. The holiday gives thanks to the industry as a whole for being a source of abundant food, fiber, and renewable products. It also provides millions with stable jobs and careers, and it also emphasizes the efforts made by those involved in agriculture for providing us with necessities.
Agriculture is the biggest food contributor in America. America is the net exporter of food, which means that this industry is a source of food and wealth. It was only during the Civil War and the Second World War that the agricultural system became centralized, and a proper agricultural system was introduced. The Agriculture Council of America, formed in 1973, has supported the farmers and agricultural advancements in farming techniques in the U.S.
