AI Summary
This resolution designates March 27, 2025, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" to recognize the substantial 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 one-third of all agricultural producers, and that women-operated farms sold $222 billion in agricultural products in 2022. It emphasizes women's diverse roles in agriculture, including farming, research and development, manufacturing, sales, education, and advocacy. The resolution also acknowledges women's critical role in developing the next generation of agricultural workers through programs like 4-H, the National FFA Organization, and the Cooperative Extension System. By designating this day, the Senate aims to recognize women's important contributions to agriculture, encourage citizens to celebrate their achievements, and inspire more women to enter and lead in this high-demand field, ultimately supporting global food resources and agricultural innovation.
