What is National Ag Day all about?
In 1855, Pennsylvania State University took root as the Farmers' High School. The ultimate mission of the Land Grant Institution was to cultivate future agricultural leaders with the knowledge and resources needed to feed a growing nation. Penn State has kept true to these roots within the College of Agricultural Sciences, a world leader in research, learning, and outreach.
Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use, and wear daily, but too few people truly understand this contribution. With the average American being three generations removed from agriculture, there is no better time than the present to educate the Penn State community on where some of the products they consume daily come from.
National Ag Day is a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies, and countless others across America join in to recognize the contributions of agriculture.
