As #agweek is coming to an end we figured we should give a Women in Agriculture #AGFACT to end the week! Did you know that there are 25,611 women farmers in the state of Kansas? That's 28% of the farmers in Kansas! #womeninag#sigmaalpha
In of #nationaldogday and #AGWEEK here is your fact for today! The USDA in 1984 est. its detector dog program, the โBeagle Brigade,โ at the Los Angeles International Airport, with one beagle trained to sniff out plants and animal products in checked luggage and carry-on items!
Here's another #AGFACT for #AGWEEK! Kansas is home to 151,000 milk cows, on a mixture of more than 290 large and small dairy farms. Kansas dairy farms produced about 379 million gallons of milk in 2016! @sigmaalpha
Happy National AG Day!!! One big thing our chapter likes to focus on is getting AG in the classroom & community! Here is one our events that we were able to participate in! #aginthecommunity#agday#adweek#agintheclassroom@sigmaalpha
Agriculture is the #1 industry in Kansas, with aircraft manufacturing and education close behind. Approximately 90% of Kansas land is for agricultural use, and the state ranks high in wheat, grain sorghum and silage production. #AGWEEK
Each American farmer feeds about 144 people! America needs agricultureโฆand we need our farmers, who provide Food for Life. This is why weโre celebrating all things Ag this week for National Ag week! Look for post this week! #agweek
