President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday issued a proclamation recognizing March 18, 2025, as National Agriculture Day, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to supporting American farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers.
In the proclamation, Trump paid tribute to the farming community, highlighting its historic and ongoing contributions to food security, economic stability, and national prosperity.

“From the earliest days of our Republic, our farmers and agricultural communities have been the source of American success—enduring the elements and defying hard conditions to cultivate our land and feed the people,” Trump stated in the proclamation.
He noted that 95% of farms in the United States are family-owned and contribute to 83% of total farm production, making them an essential part of the country’s economic and rural stability.
As part of his ongoing support for agriculture, President Trump reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening biosecurity measures to combat bird flu outbreaks, a challenge inherited from the previous administration.
Additionally, he outlined plans to:
- Expand global market access for U.S. agricultural products
- Streamline export processes to enhance international trade
- Promote fair trade practices that protect American farmers from unfair competition
