"Agriculture is America's largest industry and employer." – New York Times (March 20, 2003)

"When there is plenty of food on the table, there are many problems to discuss. When there is no food on the table, there is only one problem to discuss." – Old Chinese Proverb

Agriculture Day is an annual service event of the Ames Morning Rotary Club designed to acknowledge and celebrate the important contributions of agriculture producers and the essential role of the agriculture industry.

Each year, a number of area agriculture producers are invited to attend a designated Morning Rotary Club meeting where they are recognized for their dedication and for their contribution to the production of the world's food supply.

This event provides an opportunity to expand community relations and to renew acquaintances with members of the agriculture producing community. It also provides our club with an opportunity to explain to them the purposes of Rotary International.

Ames, IA is located in the Great Midwest of the USA - the "Breadbasket of the World."
