This Senate Resolution (J 551) requests Governor Hochul to officially declare March 24, 2025, as "Women in Agriculture Day" in New York State. It recognizes the contributions of women farmers and agricultural workers, citing their role in producing food, generating significant sales ($222 billion in 2022), and supporting STEM education and mentorship programs. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally honors women in agriculture as part of National Women in Agriculture Day and Women's History Month. It directs the Governor to issue the proclamation, with copies sent to state and federal agricultural agencies.
