Why Host an Ag Day Event?

Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use, and wear on a daily basis, and is increasingly contributing to fuel and other bio-products. Help celebrate the valuable contributions of American agriculture by organizing or hosting an Ag Day Celebration event in your local community.

The National Ag Day program believes that every American should:

• Understand how food, fiber, and renewable resource products are produced.
• Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
• Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
• Acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food, fiber and renewable resource industries.

"Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful and most noble employment of man." George Washington

  Zend Optimizer not installed

  This file was encoded by the Zend Encoder / Zend SafeGuard Suite

  In order to run it, please install the freely available Zend Optimizer, version 2.1.0 or later.

  What is the Zend Optimizer?

  The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been freely available since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by taking PHP's intermediate code through multiple Optimization Passes, which replace inefficient code patterns with efficient code blocks. The replacement code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

  In addition to performance-improvement, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Encoder or Zend SafeGuard Suite.

  The Zend Optimizer is a freely-available product from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies is the company that develops the scripting engine of PHP, also known as the Zend Engine.
