As Americans, we have many things to celebrate and be
thankful for. One of them is the abundant, healthful, delicious food we have
access to every day. More specifically, it’s important to celebrate the
agriculture industry—the reason for all of this and more.
While we should be grateful to the industry each and every
day, we can officially celebrate it—and the countless people and companies that
make it what it is—on March 18, 2015 during National Ag Day.

National Ag Day is meant to be a day of recognition and celebration,
a day during which we acknowledge the fact that our agriculture industry
provides us with almost everything we eat, wear, and rely on. Through this
recognition, along with education on a national and community level, the
National Ag Day organizers hope to instill in all Americans an understanding of
how the industry produces food, fiber, and renewable resource products, as well
as the role of the industry in our economy, our safety, and in Americans’
employment.
Agricultural understanding—or Ag literacy—means healthier
children and adults, rewarding careers for millions of people, and a stronger
economy. In order to celebrate the day, there will be events throughout the
country, including educational events at schools and universities, celebrations
and product demonstrations at companies, farms, and organizations, and
festivities in the form of breakfasts, farmer’s markets, mall exhibits, and
more. In fact, anyone and everyone can participate.
At PEER, we are incredibly proud of everyone involved in the
agriculture industry, and we welcome this opportunity to celebrate them. After
all, we work with members of the industry every day, supplying our bearings to
farmers around the country. We are proud to produce agricultural bearings that
increase productivity and longevity while reducing costs and supporting our
nation’s farms and farmers. In this way, we know our bearings play a role in
this critical industry, and we’re thankful for their business, and for the work
they do.
Currently, every American farmer feeds over 144 people; on
March 18 (and every day after that!), we can all thank them for this.
