National Ag Day
National Ag Day is held on March 21. Ag Day is organized by the Agriculture Council of America [ACA]. This event in the third decade of the month March is annual.

Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world. In 1870, about half of all Americans had jobs in agriculture, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States reports that “there is a largely untapped reservoir of farm and non-farm employment opportunities in agriculture and beyond.” There are 914 million acres of farmland just in the U.S. Roughly 3 million people work for the country’s more than 2 million farms.
