To highlight the state’s number one industry, Gov. Bill Lee has proclaimed March 23 as Tennessee Ag Day. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture invites citizens to join them in celebrating agriculture and forestry businesses and workers. This special day is set aside to help people understand how food and fiber are produced and the role farmers and foresters play in providing safe, abundant, and affordable products.
Virtual Ag Day on the Hill is the following day, Wed., March 24. Lawmakers in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee will hear from a group of speakers that have a diverse history in the agriculture industry. The public can tune into this virtual event live at 2 p.m. CDT with the Tennessee General Assembly.
