A celebration of Ag: Locals, state leaders come together to celebrate National Ag Day (with photos)

In honor of National Ag Day, over 300 members of the community came together to celebrate agriculture at an event hosted by the Grundy County Farm Bureau and Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street on Thursday night.
 
The evening included a trade show/networking hour, a catered meal using local ingredients, a keynote speaker and live music.
 
Grundy County Farm Bureau Treasurer Sarah Rickelman says the celebration - which is held each year - is a way to celebrate the ag industry, and all of the people involved in it.
 
“[Ag day] is a great time to come together and celebrate the richness and bounty that is Grundy County agriculture,” said Grundy County Farm Bureau Treasurer Sarah Rickelman. “It doesn’t matter what business you’re in, everything relates back to ag, and that means we’re all in this together.”
 
A number of special guests were in attendance for the celebration on Thursday night, including: Iowa Secretary of Ag Mike Naig, State Representative Pat Grassley and State Senator Annette Sweeney.
