President Donald Trump, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brook Rollins and U.S. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on March 18 celebrated National Agriculture Day by honoring America’s farmers, ranchers and producers who provide the world with food, fuel and clothing. &nbsp;“For centuries, American farmers and ranchers have been the lifeblood of the American economy,” Trump wrote in his National Agriculture Day proclamation. “Today and every day, we extend our unending gratitude to the dedicated men and women in farming communities who embody the timeless virtues of hard work and self-reliance.&nbsp; As we continue our new chapter of American prosperity, we commit to embolden the heroes of our agricultural community who work tirelessly with their unwavering American pride to nourish our Nation, feed our families, and fuel our way of life."In her statement, Rollins expressed gratitude to America’s farmers and ranchers. “Today on National Agriculture Day, we recognize the people who make it all possible. The farmers, the ranchers, and the producers who dedicate their lives to feeding, to fueling, and to clothing our nation,” Rollins said.“Agriculture isn’t just an industry — it is a way of life. I know that firsthand. Growing up in agriculture and being a part of 4H and FFA shaped who I am today. It taught me that farming is about more than the work. It’s about perseverance and innovation and a deep respect for the land.“Every day, through challenges and triumphs, the men and women in agriculture show up. They adapt, they solve problems, and they push forward ensuring that future generations can continue this proud tradition,” she continued.&nbsp;“So today, let’s just not celebrate agriculture,” Rollins added. “Let’s celebrate the people behind it. To every farmer, to every rancher, and to every producer, we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you. Happy National Agriculture Day!”The EPA highlighted the critical role farmers and ranchers play as stewards of the land and natural resources and noted the agency is working with farmers and ranchers to help support the production and development of clean, renewable fuels, while reducing dependence on foreign oil.“Agriculture is the foundation of the American economy and embodies the core of our American values,” Zeldin said. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are affirming our commitment to commonsense policies, to clear and consistent rules for all states, farmers, and small businesses. EPA is proud to work alongside our nation’s great farmers to usher in the Golden Age of American Success.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
