National Ag Day 2025
Today, March 18, is National Ag Day, and we have some ideas on how to celebrate!
National Ag Day is a great opportunity to celebrate the essential role of agriculture in our daily lives.
From the food on our tables to the clothes we wear, farming impacts us all. This day is a great opportunity to support local farmers by visiting a farmers' market, cooking a meal with locally sourced ingredients, or even starting a small garden at home. It's also a chance to learn about the latest innovations in agriculture, from sustainable farming practices to cutting-edge technology shaping the future of food production. By taking the time to understand and appreciate agriculture's contributions to our economy and environment, we can all play a role in supporting the industry that feeds the world.
Here are some more suggestions for how you can celebrate National Ag Day!
- Read an accurate ag book from our recommended book list! We recommend Feeding Minds Press’ Right This Very Minute, a table-to-farm book that takes readers on a journey through farms across the country.
- Take a trip to a local farm! Use the American Farm Trail app to find one near you. If you own an agritourism site, consider joining the app.
- Play a free My American Farm game. With 27 games, there is something for every interest! A crowd favorite is Seed to Shirt, where you get to learn how farmers cultivate cotton.
- Check out our In The Boat e-Learning Module, where you get to meet a real fish farmer! You can also explore our other In The... and Up Close interactive learning series for more hands-on agricultural education.
