AI Summary

This resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 17-23, 2025, as Agriculture Week in New York State, aligning with the national observance of Agriculture Week. The resolution highlights the critical importance of agriculture, noting that each American farm now feeds 169 people compared to just 25 in the 1960s, and emphasizes agriculture's role in providing food, fiber, and daily necessities. It recognizes the hard work of farmers and seeks to build awareness about agricultural contributions, particularly among young people, by encouraging them to consider careers in the industry. The resolution also underscores agriculture's significance as a vital economic driver and essential component of New York State's economy and environment. By memorializing this proclamation, the legislative body aims to honor farmers and draw attention to the broader significance of agricultural work, with a final provision to transmit an official copy of the resolution to Governor Hochul.
