March 24, 2020, has been recognized by President Trump as National Agriculture Day.
In recognition of the day, the National Potato Council launched a new social media campaign to thank all of those working to keep America’s food supply safe, secure, and abundant. The campaign is called #EssentialAg, and it aims to thank the men and women of the U.S. food supply chain who are rightfully considered “essential workers” every day, but particularly so during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
NPC CEO Kam Quarles said, “In normal times, Americans are fortunate to see their grocery store shelves well-stocked throughout the year. That security exists due to the men and women of American agriculture. It is particularly valuable now in this time of crisis to highlight these proud individuals who are working relentlessly to see those stores full again. The President and Secretary Perdue have rightfully stated that American agriculture is essential in this time of crisis, and indeed it is.”
