shipping more than $16 billion worth of food and agricultural
commodities around the world.
3)The 2013 theme of California Agriculture Day is "The

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
