This bill designates March 27, 2025, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" to recognize the vital role of women in agriculture.

The bill encourages all citizens to acknowledge and celebrate the positive impact of women on U.S. agriculture.
Resolution Designates March 27, 2025, to Honor Women in Agriculture
This resolution officially sets aside March 27, 2025, as 'National Women in Agriculture Day'. The core purpose is straightforward: to formally recognize the significant and often overlooked contributions women make to the U.S. and global agriculture scene. It highlights some impressive numbers, noting there are over 1.2 million female agricultural producers in the U.S., and farms run by women generated a staggering $222 billion in agricultural product sales in 2022 – that's 36% of the total U.S. agricultural sales.
Beyond the farm gate, the resolution acknowledges women's roles across the agricultural spectrum – in research labs, classrooms, leadership positions, and as mentors shaping future generations through programs like 4H and FFA. By designating this day within National Women's History Month (March) and coinciding with National Ag Week (March 23-29, 2025), it aims to encourage everyone to pause and appreciate the impact these women have on our food supply and the agricultural workforce. It's essentially a nationwide call to acknowledge their work in feeding the country and empowering others in the field.
