PAINESVILLE, Ohio, March 23, 2023– Lake County Farm Bureau volunteers visited with the Lake County Commissioners on Thursday, March 23, 2023, to promote agriculture in celebration of National Ag Day (March 21, 2023) and National Ag Week (March 21-27, 2023) where the Lake County Commissioners issued a proclamation in honor of National Agriculture Week. The proclamation states “American agriculture is the foundation of our country. It’s the backbone of a healthy and prosperous nation, made possible by the hard work of America’s farms and farm families.”

“As a grassroots organization that is committed to supporting our farm and food community, it is critical that we [Farm Bureau] build awareness and understanding of American agriculture. The Commissioners proclamation recognizing the importance of agriculture in the county is very much appreciated,” says Mandy Orahood, Organization Director. “Agriculture plays a vital role in each and every person’s daily lives, and Farm Bureau is proud to be a part of engaging and educating others about where their food, fiber, and fuel comes from.” Please click here to read the entire press release.
