National Farmers Day is celebrated each year on October 12th. Today we’ll be sharing some the history and some fascinating facts about farming, the backbone of America’s economy.

National Farmers Day is not just a day to celebrate the hard work and dedication of America’s farmers, but also a day to acknowledge how far we have come in agriculture and how bright the future is for the next generation. From the food on our tables to the clothes on our backs, the contributions of farmers reach every single one of us every single day!

‌

Celebrate today by thanking your farmer friends and supporting your local farmers markets and seeking direct to consumer farm products! Remember to tune in when new episodes drop every Tuesday, leave us a review or share the podcast to your stories for a chance to win this month’s giveaway.
