NATIONAL AG DAY - MARCH 19, 2024
WHEREAS, the Weld County Board of Commissioners wishes to celebrate and recognize
the agricultural producers of Weld County; and
WHEREAS, agriculture's roots run deep in Weld County and continue to grow as
operations are passed down to the next generation of producers. Weld County's
commitment to keeping and enhancing ties to our agricultural roots is strong, and those
who dedicate their lives to preserving those roots should be celebrated; and
WHEREAS, recognized since 1973, Ag Day was first established by the Agriculture Council
of America to increase public awareness of agriculture's integral role in our society. The
families who work the land, care for livestock, plant crops, provide nourishment for our
bodies, and preserve this way of life are essential to our county; and
WHEREAS, Weld County remains the number one producer and seller of agricultural
products in Colorado, ranking eighth nationally, and bringing in $2 billion annually.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, by the Board of Weld County Commissioners
that Tuesday, March 19, 2024, be known as National Ag Day. We call upon the citizens of
Weld County to join us in thanking our agricultural producers who are vital to our economic
foundation and who maintain a way of life that is essential to keeping us nourished.
