Last week, the Agriculture Council of America announced that March 22nd will serve as National Agriculture Day. This will mark the 49th anniversary of National Ag Day, which is celebrated in classrooms and communities across the country. The theme for National Ag Day 2022 is "Growing a Climate for Tomorrow."

On March 2nd, ACA will host a virtual Ag Day event and other events in Washington, DC. Additionally, the organization will bring college students to Washington "virtually" to deliver the message of Ag Day to Capitol Hill. A core leadership team of college students will attend in-person events.

Another feature of Ag Day 2022 is the Celebration of Modern Agriculture on the Mall. The events honor National Agriculture Day and mark a nationwide effort to tell the story of American agriculture. Many agricultural associations, corporations, students and government organizations involved in agriculture are expected to participate.
