Summary

**What it does:** This resolution would officially designate March 21, 2026, as "National Women in Agriculture Day" - a day to recognize and honor women's contributions to the agriculture industry. **Who it affects:** The resolution directly acknowledges women working in farming, ranching, agricultural research, food production, and related fields. It would also encourage broader public awareness of women's roles in agriculture. **What would change:** If passed, this would create an official national day of recognition. While largely symbolic, it could lead to: - Increased public awareness through events and media coverage - Educational programs highlighting women's agricultural contributions - Potential networking and professional development opportunities for women in the field This is a ceremonial resolution that doesn't create new laws or require government spending. It simply establishes an official day of recognition to celebrate women's often under-acknowledged work in feeding the nation and contributing to agricultural innovation.
