Old and young alike celebrated National Agriculture Day yesterday in the nation’s capitol with the theme “Together We Grow.” The annual event at the start of spring brought together students interested in agriculture careers and those who have been in the industry their entire lives, like American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall.
“The future lies in the the lives of these young people who are here today and the innovation and hard work that they’re going to bring back to the farms so that we can continue to be sustainable,” said Duvall. “Let’s celebrate National Ag Day every day, every time we pick up a fork or spoon to enjoy something. Let’s think about some hard working farmer. He or she works so hard to provide that for us and for our families.”
