Deacade of Agriculture

For years now on Idaho Agribusiness Today, we have talked about and emphasized the contribution of agriculture to Idaho’s economy, workforce, and all-around identity. Major agriculturally based corporations have massive brick and mortar presences here. In an effort to celebrate agricultures’ massive presence, a ceremony was recently held by Idaho Governor Brad Little declaring this to be the decade of agriculture. “And therefore being resolved the Governor of the State of Idaho, hereby declares 2020-2030 a Decade of Agriculture. I urge all Idaho citizens to join Idaho in this special observance,” said Idaho Governor Brad Little. 

And with that declaration and a signature, Idaho Governor Brad Little declares 2020-2030 the decade of Agriculture in Idaho.

 “We want to be innovators,” Little told a crowd of Farmers and Ranchers that gathered for the evening at Boise Centre on the Grove. “It's going to be something new that will create better water, pure air, wildlife habitat, that's the mantra of agriculture in Idaho.” 

Idaho is the first of many states that’s proclaimed this Decade of Agriculture.
