Thank you for celebrating national ag day!
As Australians, we all enjoy the world class food and fibre grown right here in Australia. But some Australians know very little about the farmers and workers who put food on their tables.
National Agriculture Day is your chance to celebrate and learn about Australia’s incredible farm sector. Held on the third Friday of November each year, it’s one day to celebrate an industry that’s part of our lives – every single day.
On this Ag Day, we called on all Australians to Stand with the Land. For the past year, our farmers have shown extraordinary grit, navigating record-breaking floods, devastating droughts, imperfect policies and trade disruptions. Stand with the Land is a powerful call to action that unites Australians in solidarity with our farmers and rural communities.
To stay up to date with everything that’s happening to celebrate Australian agriculture, click our sign up button below and fill out the form. We look forward to building our National Ag Day community and standing with the land!
