ELBOW LAKE, Minn. — Brad Larson was 12 years old when the first National Ag Day came around in 1973. He's lived through 45 of them but the March 20 observance at the Larson Farm and Feedlot will be like the ones before — a work day. National Ag Day is primarily focused on the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., with lunches, speeches, and dinners, and an event led by the Agriculture Council of America. The National Ag Day Program and ACA program were both started in 1973 as a way to increase public awareness of agriculture's role in society. Larson, 57, of course supports National Ag Day, and thinks it's probably a good thing for educating the public about agriculture. But the event barely registers here at home.
