(BOISE) – The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) will celebrate National Ag Day and the 100 year anniversary of the department on Thursday, March 14.

ISDA Director Celia Gould and agency staff will host an agricultural display on the front steps of the Capitol from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. highlighting the tremendous productivity of Idaho producers.

In 1940, the average farmer fed and supplied 15 people annually. Since then, Idaho producers have increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation. Join the ISDA Thursday to see how many people the average Idaho farmer feeds today.
