Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 21, 2026, as Women in Agriculture Day in the State of New York
This bill directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize March 21, 2026, as Women in Agriculture Day in New York State. The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of female agricultural producers, who currently represent about 36% of all U.S. farmers and own approximately 46% of farmland. It highlights women's roles in farming, research, education, and agribusiness while celebrating their importance to the state's food supply and economy. The bill is ceremonial in nature and does not create new laws or funding, but rather establishes an annual observance to honor women in the agricultural sector.
