SUMMARY : Recognizes and honors the men and women of California
agriculture for their dedication and productivity by observing
the week of March 4, 2012, to March 10, 2012, inclusive, as
National Agriculture Week, and designating Wednesday, March 21,
2012, as California Agriculture Day. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1) For more than 60 consecutive years, California has been the
number one agriculture state in the nation, producing more
than 400 crop and livestock products and accounting for
approximately 50% of the nation's supply of fruits,
vegetables, and nuts.
2) California is the nation's leader in agricultural exports,
annually shipping more than $14 billion worth of food and
agricultural commodities around the world.
3) The inexhaustible efforts of millions of farmworkers have
contributed greatly to the success of the agricultural
industry; and, it is appropriate to recognize our farmers,
farmworkers, and others involved in providing such a bounty
to our nation and entire world.
