This resolution designates March 27, 2025, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" to recognize and celebrate the significant contributions of women in the agricultural sector. The resolution highlights that there are over 1.2 million female agricultural producers in the United States, representing more than one-third of agricultural producers, and that in 2022, farms operated by women sold $222 billion in agricultural products, accounting for 36 percent of total agricultural sales. The resolution acknowledges women's diverse roles in agriculture, including farming, research and development, manufacturing, sales, education, agribusiness, and advocacy. It emphasizes women's crucial role in fostering the next generation of agricultural workforce through mentorship in programs like 4-H and the National FFA Organization, and recognizes their importance during National Women's History Month and National Ag Week. The House of Representatives resolves to recognize women's important roles in agriculture and encourages citizens to acknowledge and support women in the field, promoting their entry into agriculture, leadership opportunities, and potential to contribute to global food resources.
