Title 3— 

The President 

Proclamation 10350 of March 21, 2022 

National Agriculture Day, 2022 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

On National Agriculture Day, we recognize the invaluable contributions 

of American farmers, farmworkers, ranchers, fishers, foresters, and other 

agricultural workers, who have practiced their craft for generations and 

touch the lives of Americans every day. Their tireless efforts growing crops, 

raising livestock, and distributing food, fuel, and fiber sustain America and 

the entire world. They put meals on our plates, clothes on our backs, 

and roofs over our heads. Along the way, America’s agricultural workers 

serve as stewards of the land; ensure the safety and health of animals, 

plants, and people; and strengthen our rural communities with economic 

opportunities. 

Throughout the COVID–19 pandemic, the country’s agricultural workers have 

stepped up and stayed resilient, adapting their operations to ensure that 

every family has enough food on the table. To support their efforts and 

ensure a stable food supply, our pandemic economic recovery assistance 

supports our agricultural businesses, whose operations were among the hardest hit by market disruptions. We are building a food system that will 

be more competitive, balanced, and equitable—made possible by expanded 

and fairer markets, investments that sharpen farmers’ competitive edge, and 

an emphasis on more affordable, healthy food for consumers that is produced 

closer to home. 

My Administration is also committed to protecting farmers—including small 

family farms that are vital to our food system—by bolstering competition 

across the industry and around the world. We are taking action to enforce 

antitrust laws, move agriculture products to market more expeditiously, 

expand new agriculture processing capacity, and strengthen our supply chain 

resiliency. We are also eliminating systemic barriers that have denied underserved producers consistent, fair, and equal access to opportunities for far 

too long. My Administration remains determined to advance an American 

agriculture sector that works for everyone. 

National Agriculture Day also celebrates the farmers, ranchers, fishers, and 

foresters who adopt agricultural practices that help combat the climate crisis. 

Extreme weather events, including droughts, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, 

hurricanes, and other climate-related disasters, have had a devastating impact 

on American agriculture. My Administration is committed to helping the 

agriculture sector enhance its resiliency and sustainability while increasing 

its productivity and profitability. By working together, we can ensure that 

American agriculture continues to lead the world in production, that our 

food supply is secure, and that our economy remains strong. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States 

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution 

and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 22, 2022, 

as National Agriculture Day. I call upon all Americans to join me in recognizing and reaffirming our commitment to and appreciation for our country’s 

farmers, ranchers, foresters, farmworkers, and all those who work in the 

agriculture sector across the Nation.
