Agriculture & Websites… The Not So Odd Couple
National Ag Day is celebrated on March 24, 2020 during National Ag Week, March 22-28, 2020. It’s a time when producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America gather to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by American agriculture.
We’d like to not only recognize the abundance provided by American agriculture but make mention of the significant role that modern web technology has and continues to play in the agricultural industry. A farmer in the field with tablet in hand is no longer a strange sight these days and a 100+ year old Georgia Pecan Farm with a bustling eCommerce website is a definite sign of the times.
We’ve been tasked in the past few years with building several agriculture industry based websites. It’s a great feeling and an honor bringing the latest website technology to the Ag industry.
We believe we’re helping farmers, consumers, and Ag industry manufacturers bridge the technology gap with modern websites, eCommerce and web technology. It’s from this firsthand experience that we can now say with certainty, agriculture and websites are no longer an odd couple.
National Ag day is the day for producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America gather to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by American agriculture. As we’re confronted with the outbreak of COVID-19, there is even greater demand for the food, fiber and renewable resources produced in the United States.
The National Ag Day program believes that every American should:
- Understand how food, fiber and renewable resource products are produced.
- Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
- Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
- Acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food, fiber and renewable resource industries.
A few generations ago, most Americans were directly involved in or had relatives or friends involved in agricultural-related endeavors. Today, that is no longer the case. It’s important that we join together at the community level. Voices, in concert, become a shout that carries the message a great deal further than any one of us can do alone.
There are over seven billion people in the world today. That’s over seven billion mouths to feed every day. Show your appreciation for the individuals that make this feat possible on Ag Day.
