National Agriculture Day, 2026

Proclamation 11019 of March 24, 2026

National Agriculture Day, 2026

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

For 250 years, hardworking farmers, ranchers, and
growers have nurtured our Nation's abundant resources--
feeding families, fueling communities, and sustaining
the American people throughout every chapter of our
national story. Today and every day, we honor the
agricultural community for their deep connection to our
land and steadfast commitment to shaping our
prosperity, preserving our heritage, and strengthening
our way of life.

Our Nation's farmers and ranchers have always been
deeply devoted to the American promise. Their lives are
rooted in the sacred American principles of hard work,
determination, and stewardship of our most precious
resources. For generations, they have risen before dawn
to invest in their communities and care for God's
glorious creation. That commitment is visible
everywhere--in the rows of crops stretching across the
horizon, at farmers markets in small towns and big
cities alike, and at dinner tables across America and
around the world.

Under my leadership, we are making landmark investments
to empower farmers to Make America Healthy Again by
improving soil health, enhancing water quality, and
strengthening our food and fiber supply--all while
boosting long-term efficiency. We are forging a
prosperous future defined by fair trade, new markets
for homegrown commodities, and enhanced supply chain
resilience to protect our Nation's most cherished
resources. We are also putting an end to the era of
excessive regulations that have stifled productivity,
increased equipment costs, and left American farmers
and ranchers behind. And to further support our
incredible farmers, I proudly delivered over $40
billion in assistance after they endured years of
unfair trade practices from foreign countries and
failed policies from the previous administration. I
will never waver in putting American farmers, American
families, and the American people first.

As the great President George Washington said in his
eighth annual message to the Congress, ``It will not be
doubted, that with reference either to individual or
national welfare, agriculture is of primary
importance.'' This National Agriculture Day, we carry
forward this commitment to the farmers, ranchers,
growers, producers, and foresters who feed our Nation,
fuel our prosperity, and sustain our glorious 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 24, 2026, 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
twenty-fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
