California Agriculture Day returns to the west steps of the State Capitol on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Come on out and help us celebrate our agricultural community!
Ag Day is presented by CDFA in partnership with the California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom, California Women for Agriculture, and California Grown.
Our theme this year is “California Leads,” a nod to all of the ways our farmers, ranchers and rural communities lead the nation and the world when it comes to productivity, innovation and sustainability.
2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer, so we will also be celebrating the achievements of California women in agriculture, who outpace the national average by making up 38% of producers and operating more farms than any other major ag state.
Come on out and join us on April 21 and find out even more about all the ways California agriculture leads. The event is open to elected officials and staff from 10:30 am – 11:30 am and to the public from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm.
