Archer Daniels Midland Company is proud to honor American farmers and the agriculture industry by celebrating their contributions to the nation and the world on National Agriculture Day, March 20, 2010, and during National Agriculture Week, March 14 to 20, 2010.
“We are pleased to celebrate the hard-working men and women who are the foundation of the American economy and to help educate citizens about the importance of agriculture’s history and future,” said Greg Webb, vice president of State Government Relations.
This year’s theme is “American Agriculture: Abundant. Affordable. Amazing.” To begin the celebration, students will gather in Washington, DC, with leaders from industry and government to celebrate agriculture’s contributions of food, fiber and fuel to the daily lives of people around the world.
The events in Washington, DC, are organized by the Agriculture Council of America (ACA), a nonprofit organization composed of leaders in the agriculture industry. As a primary sponsor, ADM supports the ACA and its celebration of American farming through National Agriculture Day and National Agriculture Week.
