(NAFB.com) – The Agriculture Council of America announced that March 24, 2026, will be National Agriculture Day with the theme of “Together We Grow.” Ag Day 2026 also celebrates 250 years of progress in agriculture. Activities planned for March 24 include in-person events in Washington, D.C. A core leadership team of college students will participate in the D.C. events, along with representatives of national farm and commodity organizations, and the food, fuel, and fiber communities. ”Students are interested in advocating on behalf of agriculture and their future roles in the industry,” said Jenny Pickett, ACA President. “Their participation in National Ag Day Activities provides a glimpse of the future of agriculture.” More and more students are finding careers in agriculture, including scientists, biologists, food safety technicians, livestock nutrition specialists, and many other careers. “A student doesn’t have to be a farmer or have a direct on-the-farm job to be involved in agriculture,” Picket added.
