(EWING) - Agriculture Secretary Charles

New Jersey's 9,600 farms generate more than $820
million in annual sales and represent an important
part of the state's economy. They also contribute
to the quality of life in our communities, providing
direct access to fresh, high-quality farm products
and offering natural buffers against congestion and
sprawl.
American agriculture celebrated its first National
Agriculture Day in 1973. National Agriculture Day
provides an opportunity to spotlight the contributions
of the agriculture industry in New Jersey and throughout
the nation.
