Mike Kelly (R-PA) co-sponsored a resolution to recognize Thursday, September 17, 2026 as "National Teach Ag Day." The resolution supports teaching agriculture programs in schools to train and educate young Americans about the importance of agriculture and to jumpstart education for students who are interested in pursuing a career in agriculture. "Farmers and farm families are the backbone of the United States. Here in Pennsylvania, it remains one of the top industries and supports nearly 50,000 jobs. This resolution recognizes the importance of agriculture in our community, and it encourage local students to learn more about these jobs," said Rep. Kelly. Pennsylvania's 49,053 farm families operate 7.3 million acres of farmland across the Commonwealth. They produce $7.8 billion in cash receipts annually, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. In March, Kelly toured Moniteau High School's Vo-Ag program where he met with students and educators and to learn more about the school's Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. | 1 | 2026-09-18T09:27:43Z | 2026-09-18T09:29:09Z |
