Month: March 2026

Governor Proclaims March as WA Agriculture Month

Governor Ferguson has officially proclaimed March 2026 as Agriculture Month in Washington State. This proclamation recognizes the vital role our farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, producers, processors, and agricultural businesses play in feeding our communities, stewarding our natural resources, and driving our state’s economy.

Our fellow wine leaders at the Washington State Wine Commission played an instrumental role in the establishment of Washington Agriculture Month. The proclamation states, “historically March is WA Wine Month, so we celebrate all things grown, raised, produced, and poured here during the month of March.” Agricultural communities will also celebrate National Agriculture Week (March 15-21) and National Agriculture Day (March 24), as stated in the proclamation.

The Washington State Department of Agriculture put out an official press release, in which WSDA Director Derek Sandison said: “Washington Agriculture Month is about more than crops. It’s about people, innovation, stewardship of the land and ensuring a strong future for agriculture in our state.”
