Saluting all the men and women who work each day to feed, fuel and clothe the world! Happy National Agriculture Day, America!

On National Ag Day, it's worth remembering that, in North Dakota, cattle outnumber people more than 2 to 1! That's a powerful reminder that beef production isn't just part of our economy; in many communities, it IS our economy. North Dakota: more cattle than people, more tradition than trends and more pride in producing beef that feeds the world! Happy National Ag Day from the North Dakota Stockmen's Association!
