2001 Ag Day.

Agriculture, A World of Opportunity in 2001

It's no secret that fewer and fewer Americans understand the diversity and scope of careers in agriculture. As part of the 2001, "America's Largest Classroom on Agriculture," students will continue to explore careers from sea to shining sea. As they discover the ways that they interact daily with agriculture, they will also learn the variety of careers in the food and fiber industry.

Agriculture not only offers a variety of employment opportunities, it also offers careers in every region of the United States. Artist Kim Behm returns in 2001 to expand the idea of "Agriculture, A World of Opportunity" in the Ag Day commemorative painting. The 2001 painting will feature exciting agriculture careers in regions across the United States. An early sketch of the painting (below) reveals at least a dozen of the career options in agriculture. For copies of the poster, available in early December, please contact the Agriculture Council of America at [e-mail].
