Despite challenges such as the current drought, the Golden State&#8217;s farmers and ranchers have always come through for us. This day was an opportunity for Legislators, staff and the public, especially our youth, to meet a farmer, try on a cowboy hat, and learn how California&#8217;s abundant natural resources are combined with creativity, technology, ingenuity and determination to produce more than 400 crops and commodities. We are appreciative that Governor Brown stopped by to say hello!<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the many exhibitors, sponsors and partners who make this event possible, thank you for making \u201cAg Day\u201d
