Indiana's Family Of Farmers To Celebrate Agriculture Day

Indiana's Family of Farmers group is planning a celebration of the state's Agriculture Day at the Statehouse.

The organization will recognize the economic and cultural contributions that agriculture makes to Indiana during the March 21 celebration. The event is set for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Indiana Statehouse's north atrium.

Organizers plan to host an agriculture appreciation luncheon, exhibits from Indiana farm organizations and agencies and announcements of Ag Day video contest winners with the help of Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. The contest asked participants to answer what the future of agriculture means to them.

Indiana Family of Farmers representatives will also read the governor's proclamation designating "Ag Day" in the state.
