LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION memorializing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to
proclaim Tuesday, March 15, 2011, as Agriculture Day in the State of New
York

WHEREAS, New York State and the entire Nation is dependent on the agri-
culture industry for the necessary food and fiber of everyday life; and
WHEREAS, American farmers and ranchers are not only an integral part
of the economy, but they represent and characterize what has made Ameri-
ca great, hard work; and
WHEREAS, Many farms and ranches are family-owned and operated, passing
down a way of life and a strong commitment to the land for future gener-
ations to inherit; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize Governor
Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim Tuesday, March 15, 2011, as Agriculture Day
in the State of New York in conjunction with National Agriculture Week,
March 13-19 2011; this year's theme is "Agriculture is Amazing"; and
WHEREAS, This year's National Agriculture Day falls during National
Agriculture Week, 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; and
WHEREAS, The fruits grown in orchards and vineyards, the vegetables,
grains and corn harvested on the numerous farms and the milk produced by
the State's dairy farmers are all wholesome and nutritious foods, and
are the mainstays of a balanced diet; and
WHEREAS, Agriculture continues to exist as the largest industry in New
York State and possesses an important environmental role in the State,
keeping fertile land in production; and
WHEREAS, All of our Nation's farmers, and particularly the farmers of
New York, for their tireless efforts, deserve the recognition, support,
and appreciation of all the citizens of this great Empire State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim Tuesday, March 15,
2011, as Agriculture Day in the State of New York; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New
York.
