SUMMARY:Farmer’s Day
DESCRIPTION:\nNational Farmer’s Day is celebrated in the United States on October 12. The day was chosen because it is a traditional harvest time of many crops in the U.S. Its main purpose is to thank the hard-working farmers and ranchers that dedicate themselves to this lifestyle that supports a nation and its economy. Farmers and ranchers supply and feed an entire nation through hard work, dedication, persistence and passion. They plow, sow, raise, feed and harvest every day of the year in order to produce the best quality of products. It is because of them that a nation survives and strives and this day serves to honor them.\n \nHow Farmer’s Day Unites People\n\nFarmers unite us by maintaining and feeding the nation. Their work, products, and skills lead to fresh products and healthy choices. Farmers move the economy significantly, even though their numbers are lower than is needed. Farmers and ranchers lead exemplary lives of dedication that can inspire others into this hardworking and fulfilling lifestyle. It is because of them that we survive and owe huge gratitude. Through them, others can learn about agriculture, farming, biology, zoology, and ecology. Teaching others about these topics can significantly impact many by understanding how food and plant production work, by sharing interesting ways to produce a variety of products. It may even perhaps raise a whole new young generation of farmers and ranchers.\n\nInteresting Facts\n\n\nInternational Farmer’s Day is being launched on November 14th, 2019.
