NORWICH – In the spirit of recognizing and appreciating the major impact that agriculture has year-in and year-out in the Chenango County region, the Chenango County Farm Bureau (CCFB) has received a New York State Senate proclamation officially naming March 21 as Chenango County’s Ag Day.

“In recognition of the many farmers celebrating Ag Day in New York State and especially the Chenango County area, CCFB requests that you help us celebrate this important day,” said CCFB President Bradd Vickers. “As a producer and a Farm Bureau member who depends on agriculture for my livelihood, I believe this would be a most fitting tribute to the many farmers and/or ranchers who perform their jobs with pride and dedication.”

Additionally, Assemblyman Cliff Crouch presented and read Chenango County’s Ag Day proclamation on the Assembly floor.

The proclamation aligns Chenango County’s Ag Day with National Ag Day, which permits a time for producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, governmental agencies, and countless others across the county to gather and celebrate the numerous resources provided by American agriculture, as well as the commitment and dedication exhibited by farmers to harvest them.
