OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Today marks the 49th anniversary of National Ag Day which is celebrated in classrooms and communities across the country. The theme for #NationalAgDay 2022 is “Growing a Climate for Tomorrow.”
The Agriculture Council of America is also featuring a virtual Ag Day event and events in Washington, D.C. Additionally, the ACA has brought approximately 100 college students to Washington “virtually” to deliver the message of Ag Day to the Hill.
