A new perspective on food culture today led by farmers and ranchers
Ag Day 2013
As part of the 40th anniversary of National Agriculture Day on March 19, the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA®) celebrated with a breakfast on Capitol Hill and educational briefing on ”The New Language of Food and Modern Agriculture.“ More than 150 people — including Ag Day participants, members of the food industry, and Congressional staff — joined USFRA at the event to hear about new research on the relevance of modern agriculture and encourage sharing of personal stories of continual improvement on the farm and ranch.
