           this resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)For more than 60 consecutive years, California has been the  
            number one agricultural state in the nation, producing more  
            than 400 crop and livestock products and accounting for 50  
            percent of the nation's supply of fruits, vegetable, and nuts.

          2)California is the nation's leader in agricultural exports,  
            shipping more than $16 billion worth of food and agricultural  
            commodities around the world.

          3)The 2013 theme of California Agriculture Day is "The  
            California Advantage" to discover all of the advantages that  
            make California's agriculture the most productive in the  
            nation with the efforts of millions of farmworkers  
            contributing greatly to the success of the agriculture  
            industry.

          4)March 20, 2013, is designated as California Agriculture Day, a  
            day of celebration to commemorate agriculture's importance in  
            our daily lives, its vital role in keeping Californians  
            nourished, and its role in keeping the state's economy ranked  
            as the ninth largest in the world.
