SUBJECT : California Agriculture Day.
SUMMARY : Honors the men and women of California agriculture
for their dedication and productivity by observing the week of
March 13 to March 19, 2011, inclusive, as National Agriculture
Week, and Wednesday, March 23, 2011, as California Agriculture
Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1) For approximately 62 consecutive years, California has been
the number one agriculture state in the nation, producing
more than 350 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 $12 billion worth of food and
agricultural commodities to continents ranging from Europe to
Asia, and from Africa to South America.
3) The inexhaustible efforts of approximately 850,000
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.
