This resolution officially designates March 21, 2026, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" to recognize the significant contributions of women to the agricultural sector. It highlights their vital roles as producers, educators, leaders, and mentors across various fields, both within the United States and globally. The resolution notes that over 1.2 million female agricultural producers account for more than one-third of all producers, with women-operated farms selling $222 billion in products in 2022. Beyond farming, women are crucial in areas like research, manufacturing, education, and advocacy, fostering the next generation of the agricultural workforce. Ultimately, the resolution encourages all citizens to acknowledge and praise the positive impact of women in agriculture, empowering them to pursue opportunities and contribute to global food security.
