           DIGEST  :    This resolution 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 March 21, 2012 as California Agriculture 
          Day. 

           ANALYSIS  :    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 farmers, farmworkers, and others involved in 
             providing such a bounty to our nation and entire world.
