“National Agriculture Day is a time to highlight the work of everyone involved in this industry right here in the Garden State,” Secretary Fisher said. “Our farmers supply 樱花视频ans as well as others throughout North America and beyond. Our farms use innovative measures and conservation practices to care for environment while also growing the best agricultural products available. We also urge consumers to buy local as it supports our farm families in a variety of ways.”
