Secretary Perdue celebrates National Ag Day
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue issued the following statement regarding National Agriculture Day and President Donald J. Trump’s proclamation recognizing the importance of America’s farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers:
“For the past 45 years, National Ag Day has played a key role in helping people understand where their food and fiber comes from, and how important agriculture is to our national economy,” said Perdue. “Our farmers, ranchers, foresters and producers in America are feeding and clothing the world – and it’s important to never forget that. I am thrilled that we have a day, really a whole week, where we can celebrate the bounty of the American harvest.”
Perdue also released a video celebrating America’s agriculture community. To see the video, go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv1DJkcuWLU&feature=youtu.be.
