At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on March 14, 2023, Commissioner Baxter presented a proclamation declaring March 21-27, 2023 as National Agriculture Week in Palm Beach County. Agriculture is a vital industry that plays a crucial role in providing food, fuel and fiber to communities throughout the world, and farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers work tirelessly to produce crops and livestock, care for the land and maintain the rural way of life. Palm Beach County leads the nation in the production of sugarcane, fresh sweet corn and sweet bell peppers. It also leads the state in the production of rice, lettuce, radishes, Chinese vegetables, specialty leaf and celery. National Agriculture Appreciation Day, celebrated on March 21, 2023, provides an opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of those involved in agriculture and to celebrate the contributions of the industry to our economy and our way of life.
