           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 2014 theme of California Agriculture Day is "Common  
            Ground: Celebration, Innovation, Education" in recognition of  
            the diversity and significance of California agriculture  
            through training students for agricultural careers, developing  
            new and innovative technologies, and continuing the  
            award-winning and globally recognized California educational  
            institutions.

          4)March 10, 2014, 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.
