National Agriculture Month, celebrated each March, recognizes the vital role agriculture plays across the country and in our local communities.
On March 14, the Agriculture Council of America will sponsor National Ag Day to increase awareness of the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives.
Agriculture has a rich history in Indiana, and it contributes an estimated $31.2 billion to our state’s economy each year. Indiana is also the 10th largest farming state in the nation, with 56,800 farming operations.
