Title 3--
The President

Proclamation 10904 of March 18, 2025

National Agriculture Day, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

From the earliest days of our Republic, our farmers and
agricultural communities have been the source of
American success--enduring the elements and defying
hard conditions to cultivate our land and feed the
people. Farming is indelibly engrained in our history,
customs, and culture, and stands to this day as the
bedrock of our economy and way of life. This National
Agriculture Day, we pay tribute to every farmer and
rancher who makes our country strong--and we commit to
empowering our agricultural community to forge a long,
successful, and bountiful American future.

Every day, farmers and agriculture workers ensure that
families across America and around the world have
stable access to high-quality products--including food
for our tables, clothes for our backs, and fuel for our
cars. Over 95 percent of all farms in the United States
are family-owned and are vital to rural and economic
stability, comprising 83 percent of total farm
production.

To make good on my promises to fortify the American
farmer and make our Nation's agricultural products
affordable again, I have worked to rapidly reduce the
spread of bird flu inherited from the previous
administration--including by strengthening biosecurity
measures and ensuring rapid outbreak containment. As
President, I will ensure that American agriculture
remains the gold standard of the world, producing the
best food, feed, fuel, and fiber on the face of the
Earth. My Administration will strengthen our farmers'
competitiveness on the world stage by promoting fair
trade practices, streamlining export processes, and
expanding market access.

For centuries, American farmers and ranchers have been
the lifeblood of the American economy. Today and every
day, we extend our unending gratitude to the dedicated
men and women in farming communities who embody the
timeless virtues of hard work and self-reliance. As we
continue our new chapter of American prosperity, we
commit to embolden the heroes of our agricultural
community who work tirelessly with their unwavering
American pride to nourish our Nation, feed our
families, and fuel our way of life.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim March 18, 2025, as
National Agriculture Day. I encourage all Americans to
observe this day by recognizing the preeminent role
that agriculture plays in our daily lives,
acknowledging agriculture's continuing importance to
rural America and our country's economy, and expressing
our deep appreciation of farmers, growers, ranchers,
producers, national forest system stewards, private
agricultural stewards, and those who work in the
agriculture sector across the Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eighteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
