Students and leaders gather to celebrate and advocate for agriculture and agricultural education

On Tuesday, March 18, FFA student members, advisors, and leaders across the country will come together to share the importance of agriculture with elected officials and their communities as part of National Ag Day.

National Ag Day, which is being celebrated on March 18th this year with the theme “Together, We Grow,” is a day designated to celebrate the industry that feeds, fuels, clothes, and sustains a growing world and the critical role agriculture plays in our culture and economy. Organized by the Agriculture Council of America, this day is an opportunity for others to learn how agriculture provides safe, abundant and affordable products and its essential role in producing food, fiber and fuel.

The National FFA Organization, the nation’s premier school-based student leadership organization with over one million members in all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, uses National Ag Day as another opportunity to celebrate and advocate for agricultural education and the impact of agriculture on our world. FFA is a key component of agricultural education that prepares the next generation of leaders in the science, business, and technology of agriculture, helping each student develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success.
