24 Feb Free “Ag Day” Breakfast on March 18th
To celebrate “National Ag Day” and the affordability of food in America, the Marion County Farm Bureau (CFB) will host their annual Ag Day Breakfast on Tuesday, March 18th at the Farm Bureau office in Salem. A breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, orange juice, and milk will be available for dine-in or carry-out from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. from the office in Salem. There will again be no charge for this year’s breakfast, but donations will be accepted to support the organization’s scholarship and Agriculture in the Classroom programs.
The purpose of the breakfast is to demonstrate the value of food in America and the role that agriculture plays in providing it. Not only is America’s food supply the world’s safest, but it’s also the most affordable. The safe, abundant, and affordable domestic food supply produced by America’s farmers and ranchers is responsible, at least in part, for our nation’s increasing standard of living. Compared to food, Americans work longer each year to pay for their housing, federal taxes, and medical care.
Mark your calendars now and join us as we Celebrate National Agriculture Day with a (free) breakfast on March 18th at the Marion County Farm Bureau!
