Four national FFA members will represent the voice of agricultural youth in Washington, D.C., during the National Ag Day Celebration on March 24. National Ag Day is a time when producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies, and countless others across America gather to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by U.S. agriculture. This year’s event theme is “Together We Grow.” It honors 250 years of agricultural progress since the U.S. was established.
“National Agriculture Day shines a spotlight on the people and innovations that make agriculture a vital part of our nation,” said Celya Glowacki, the National FFA Manager of Advocacy, Literacy, and Ag-Based Experiences. “We’re proud that our National FFA SpeakAg Pioneers will be in D.C. to share their perspectives and help tell agriculture’s story from their own unique viewpoint.” She added that their voices represent the future of the industry, and FFA is excited to see them engage with leaders on a national stage.
