On #NationalAgDay today, I am thankful for the farmers who feed & clothe me and to work at @FoundationFAR , an org who for 10 yrs has been building collaborative funding partnerships to support research addressing bold food & agriculture challenges. What are you thankful for?

You may not be thinking today about all the research that went into making the sugar, cocoa & nuts in your Valentine's Day candy, but rest assured, everyday time & money were invested in ensuring every piece is available, safe & affordable. Happy Valentine's Day!

Who knew?! Candy corn originated c. 1880s, when candy was made into the shape of pumpkins and other agricultural products. Farmers made up about 1/2 the US labor force, and agriculture-themed candies were marketed to children in farm country year round. https://t.co/lkwVAS0fCQ
