RALEIGH, N.C. — NC Ag Awareness Day at the General Assembly is March 20, 2019. Please save this date, make plans to attend and invite others to join us.
In addition to educating elected representatives about agriculture, NC Ag Awareness Day is an opportunity for commodities, farmers, agribusinesses, universities, and ag students to provide a unified voice of the importance of North Carolina’s #1 industry. It is imperative to express our appreciation to North Carolina Legislators for their prior support and communicate how critical agriculture is to our state. Now more than ever, we need to cultivate and strengthen our relationships in the General Assembly.
We encourage everyone to visit with Senate and House members between 9 and 11 a.m. We urge you to make appointments. Obviously, you will not be able to see them all, but if you could make a 10-minute appointment with one or two of them it would be helpful.
To register for the event please follow this link, N.C. Ag Awareness Day.
