MA Ag Day at the State House in Boston

How big is agriculture in Massachusetts? Approximately $492 million dollars of revenue is generated annually, and Commonwealth farmers are responsible for maintaining almost 525,000 acres of open space! Please join us on Tuesday, March 31, 2015, when farmers and agriculture officials from across the state come together to visit their legislators to discuss issues and legislation which affects their farms and local communities.

 

The day’s events include a program of speakers, presentation of “Agriculture Day” awards, informational exhibits and a hotly anticipated reception featuring Massachusetts’ farm and specialty food products. We invite you to join us in recognizing Massachusetts’ agriculture specialists and learn more about their efforts to maintain the long-term viability of Massachusetts agriculture.
