If you've been on any form of social media, you already know what day it is. It's National Ag Day! One of my favorite days of the year. It's a day to post pictures of your favorite farmers, farmer tans, cow selfies and family pictures by the farm sign. However, I saw a girl roll her eyes and turn up her nose to all of the "annoying posts about farmers today" on Facebook and Twitter. At first I was mad, but then I realized... how does she know any different? Does she even know what a farmer does every day? And then came along this "10 reasons to thank a farmer" picture floating through Facebook:
Now that you have reasons to thank them, here are 10 reasons to hug a farmer on National Ag Day:
- They work hard to provide food not only for consumers, but a good life for their family as well
- A farmer doesn't work 9-5... they're on the clock 24/7
- They don't get a vacation day on Christmas or a 4-day weekend for memorial day
- A farmer is up at the crack of dawn to care for their animals, land and the environment
- Farmers are passionate about what they do
- They're responsible for beer, cheese and milkshakes
- .......Oh yea, and pizza
- Farmers are goodhearted, incredible people who never hesitate to lend a helping hand
- Without farmers, you'd be naked and hungry
- No farms, no food
So if you're like the entire human population and enjoy eating and living the life the way we do, give a farmer a hug and say "Thank you, for all you do."
