The National Farmers’ Federation is urging the public to get behind farmers and agriculture this Friday, November 21, for National Agriculture Day. NFF president Hamish McIntyre said the annual event is a wonderful chance to celebrate the people behind our nation’s food and fibre.“This year’s theme, ‘Stand with the Land’ is a powerful call to action that unites Australians in solidarity with our farmers and rural communities,” Mr McIntyre said. “National Agriculture Day is your chance to celebrate and learn about Australia’s incredible farm sector. Everyone in the ag industry shows extraordinary grit and innovation, and today is the day to celebrate that determination.” Held on the third Friday of November each year, Ag Day is one day to celebrate an industry that’s part of our lives every single day. “We’re calling on all Australians to Stand with the Land this Friday. Whether it’s attending an Ag Day event, entering the photography competition, or posting photos on social media; it all helps our industry feel appreciated. It can be a simple as a morning tea with workmates with in-season produce, wearing an Ag Day t-shirt, or sharing a story about farming that’s close to your heart. We’re also encouraging farmers to share snippets of their day with the public, whether it’s via farm tours, workshops or social media. “Make sure you tag the NFF and use #AgDayAU so farmers and the community can see your celebration or message. “We’re really looking forward to this year’s Ag Day – Grow you good thing!”
