The Idaho State Department of Agriculture is set to host an event for Idaho Agriculture Day on March 18. The celebration will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the State Capitol Building in Boise.
Over 15 agricultural organizations are expected to participate, offering displays that highlight Idaho agriculture on the second floor of the Rotunda. The event aims to educate the public about Idaho's agricultural sector and its influence on today's food system.
Idaho's agriculture is a crucial component of both the state and national economies. The state's 23,000 farms and ranches produce over 185 different commodities, contributing more than $10.8 billion annually to Idaho's economy.
Idaho Agriculture Day serves as an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers in the state.
