Governor Armstrong has officially declared March 18, 2025, as North Dakota Agriculture Day, aligning with the national observance. To mark the occasion, agriculture-related organizations hosted an event at the state Capitol to highlight the importance of the industry.
“Many of these groups had display booths and tables in the Memorial and Legislative Halls today,” said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. “We were glad to see legislators, Capitol employees and visitors stopping by these displays to learn more about the vital role of agriculture in our state and enjoying a meal showcasing some of the commodities our farmers and ranchers produce.”
“North Dakota has been blessed with abundant resources and a varied landscape that enable our farmers and ranchers to produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for families near and far,” said Goehring. “We want them to know that North Dakota appreciates all they do.”
More than 20 agricultural organizations, agencies, and associations participated in the event, helping to educate the public and celebrate the role of agriculture in North Dakota’s economy and daily life.
