Together we grow. We grow food. We grow economies. We grow leaders. We grow communities. Agriculture: Together We Grow.
Together We Grow. It takes all kinds of farmers and ranchers to grow the different commodities needed to keep our nation fed and secure. In Wyoming, a state where there are more cattle than people, cattle and calves are ranked as the largest livestock commodity raised. Wyoming is a leading state in sheep, lamb and wool production. Hay is the top crop raised, and farmers also grow corn, sugar beets, wheat, barley and dry edible beans. The state ranks among the top producers of barley and pinto beans nationally. Agriculture plays a vital role in Wyoming’s economy.
Together We Grow. In agriculture, we have the grand responsibility of not only making it work while we are here on earth, but making it work for future generations. To be a good steward means implementing the kind of management that works for generations to come. Making careful and responsible choices for the land that we have been entrusted to care for is important and necessary.
Together We Grow. Another important component of farming and ranching is growing together as leaders in agriculture advocacy. Involvement in agriculture policy issues is a crucial element of the farm or ranch business. We are proud of the agricultural leaders in Wyoming. It takes all kinds of individuals collaborating to make good decisions. Working together our members add their perspectives for the good of agriculture and the communities they call home. Whether you just consume food or you raise cows, sheep, barley, corn or you name the commodity…agriculture is strongest together.
Together We Grow. Along with volunteering for the Farm Bureau Federation, we are proud of the additional contributions our members make in their communities. Whether they serve on school boards, are volunteer firefighters, serve at their church, or any number of volunteer activities, Farm Bureau Federation members value giving back to their communities. This dedication reflects our mission of strengthening Wyoming agriculture and enhancing Wyoming’s communities, rooted in the strong sense of community and patriotism that defines our state.
Together We Grow. National Agriculture Day is March 24, 2026. The theme of “Agriculture: Together We Grow” is a vivid reminder of the strength of working together to grow food and keep agriculture strong for generations to come. Keeping agriculture strong in Wyoming and America is important for those who grow food, it’s important for those who consume food, and it’s important for the security of our nation.
The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation invites all Wyomingites to “Celebrate Agriculture” and learn more about its role in your daily lives. We proudly celebrate Wyoming agriculture and its people every day of the year and specifically on Wyoming Agriculture Day, March 24, 2026.
