Mar. 14, 2013 Source: Agriculture Future of America news release Agriculture Future of America will host 40 outstanding college men and women in Washington, D.C., March 17-20, for the AFA Policy Institute. Held in conjunction with Agriculture Council of America's National Ag Day, this Institute experience allows AFA delegates to join Student NAMA, 4-H and FFA students for National Ag Day activities on Capitol Hill, March 19. Students will take part in training sessions to help further their understanding of policy and regulations in agriculture as well as promote agriculture awareness by visiting with legislators and advisors from the students' home states. Additionally, the AFA delegate experience will be enhanced by Institute specific activities March 19-20, including visits with current and former secretaries of agriculture and a forum featuring leaders in agriculture policy. Students will also benefit from networking with like-minded students who are passionate about agriculture and the legislative process. AFA students are able to take part in these activities due to the generosity of AFA Policy Institute and National Ag Day partners. To learn more about the AFA Policy Institute and AFA's partners, visit www.agfuture.org/agday. The National Ag Day campaign, hosted by the Agriculture Council of America, encourages every American to understand how food and fiber products are produced, value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy and appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
