State Senator Kim LaSata is marking Michigan Ag Day next week. She says it’s a chance for everyone to recognize the benefits agriculture brings to the state. Ag Day falls on Tuesday, March 22.

“Michigan farms contribute billions to our economy each year,” LaSata said in a video her office released. “We owe the success to the countless family farms across the state. So please join me in recognizing those who make agriculture one of Michigan’s largest and most important industries.”

LaSata says it’s good that Michigan celebrates its farmers every March. Michigan farms each year contribute more than $100 billion to the state’s economy, while farms and related businesses employ nearly 1 million people.
