                Proclamation 9579 of March 21, 2017

                
National Agriculture Day, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                America's farmers and ranchers help feed the world, 
                fuel our Nation's economy, and lead global markets in 
                output and productivity. The efficiency of American 
                agriculture has provided this country with abundance 
                our ancestors could not have imagined.

                The agriculture sector of the United States is 
                endlessly innovative. It continuously builds on its 
                centuries of progress through advances in science, 
                research, technology, safety, production, and marketing 
                to meet the demands of changing consumer needs and 
                complex world markets. The agriculture sector provides 
                jobs across our Nation, not just for farmers and 
                ranchers, but for foresters, scientists, processors, 
                shippers, firefighters, police, and retailers.

                American agriculture is the largest positive 
                contributor to our Nation's net trade balance, 
                generating 10 percent of our exports and millions of 
                American jobs. America's farmers and ranchers provide a 
                safe and plentiful domestic food supply, which is vital 
                to our national security. Moreover, they safeguard our 
                sustainable resource base for future generations. As my 
                Administration fights for better trade deals, 
                agriculture will be an important consideration so that 
                its significant contributions will only increase in the 
                years ahead.

                American farmers and ranchers are the heart and soul of 
                America and they represent the determined, self-reliant 
                character of our Nation. We are proud of American 
                agriculture and we recognize agriculture's critical 
                role to our Nation's bright future.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim March 21, 2017, as 
                National Agriculture Day. I encourage all Americans to 
                observe this day by recognizing the preeminent role 
                that agriculture plays in Americans' daily life, 
                acknowledging agriculture's continuing importance to 
                our country's economy, and expressing our deep 
                appreciation of farmers and ranchers across the Nation.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                first.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
