Today's website of interest is Ag Day. In case you missed it, last week was National Agriculture Week, culminating in National Agriculture Day on March 20. The Ag Day website provides agriculture supporters and enthusiasts resources on how to communicate about their industry to others.The event was started by the Agriculture Council of America (ACA), an organization uniquely composed of leaders in the agriculture, food and fiber communities dedicated to increasing the public awareness of agriculture's vital role in our society. The Agriculture Council of America and the National Ag Day program was started in 1973. It is a non-profit organization the helps to support and provide education to all interested in Ag Day.
Still wondering how you can bring agriculture to your local community? Read Michelle Payn-Knoper's blog post on the National Ag Week Idea Extravaganza. You'll hear what "agvocates" (such as myself) have done to educate others about where their food comes from.
