The Marion County Farm Bureau will celebrate National Ag Day with its Annual Ag Day Breakfast Tuesday morning at the Farm Bureau Office in Salem.
A breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausage, orange juice, and milk will be available for dine-in or carry-out from six to nine am. There will again be no charge for this year’s breakfast, but donations will be accepted to support the organization’s scholarship and Agriculture in the Classroom programs.
Marion-Clinton County Farm Bureau Manager Brad Conant says the purpose of the breakfast is to demonstrate the value of food in America and the role that agriculture plays in providing it. Not only is America’s food supply the world’s safest, but it’s also the most affordable. Conant says the safe, abundant and affordable domestic food supply produced by America’s farmers and ranchers is responsible, at least in part, for our nation’s increasing standard of living. Compared to food, Americans work longer each year to pay for their housing, federal taxes, and medical care.
Everyone is invited to participate in the yearly event which is once again scheduled for Tuesday from six to nine am at the Marion County Farm Bureau office.
