Today is N.C. Farmer Appreciation Day! 🚜🎉

There are so many farm families across our state that work hard each and every day to produce high-quality meat, produce, value-added items and more. These families work 365 days a year to ensure that you and your family have enough to eat. Without them, we would go naked and hungry.

We owe a lot to our farmers, so help us show them some appreciation today by tagging your hometown farm in the comments and thanking them for all that they do!

The speaker in the photo is one of the staff members who educated participants about soil health principles for sustainable agriculture practices. Understanding some basics of soil structure and type can help farmers and ranchers observe and react to changes that occur because of management decisions like the implementation of no-till, prescribed grazing, and more.

Visit your NRCS office to find out about any local field days you can attend!
