March 22 is National Agriculture Day

By Lisa Tolliver

Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles encourages all Kentuckians to celebrate Kentucky's agriculture community on National Agriculture Day today and National Agriculture Week, all week long.

"Kentucky's gently rolling hills, rich, fertile soils, and temperament climates allow for bountiful harvests and superior yields. It's as if this state was made for farming," Commissioner Quarles said. "During National Agriculture Week we honor and recognize Kentucky's 74,100 farm families responsible for more than 684,547 jobs and $111.3 billion of economic output in the state."

Kentucky, ranks sixth in the nation for the number of farms. Those farms take up more than 13 million acres on Kentucky's 25.4 million acres of land, meaning more than half of Kentucky land is farm land.
