Chuck Zimmerman

National Ag DayHow about a look ahead to spring weather and the celebration of agriculture? A lot of the country is dealing with winter weather right now and we hope everyone is safe during the current storm. But National Ag Day is right around the corner. I’ll be attending once again this year.

Let’s learn what will be going on in Washington, DC this year from Barry Nelson, John Deere, who is Chair of the Agriculture Council of America which oversees the National Ag Day program and has done so since 1973. It’s time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the program.

National Ag Day is a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America join together to recognize the contributions of agriculture.
