A resolution designating March 21, 2026, as "National Women in Agriculture Day".
Summary
S.Res. 653 is a non-binding resolution that designates March 21, 2026, as National Women in Agriculture Day. This resolution aims to honor and recognize the significant contributions that women make to agriculture and food production in the United States. Non-binding resolutions do not have the force of law and do not require presidential signature, so this designation is symbolic rather than legally enforceable.
The resolution was introduced by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) on March 19, 2026, and passed the Senate the same day by unanimous consent. While this recognition does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements, it serves to acknowledge women's roles in farming, agricultural business, and related industries. The designation could be used to promote awareness and celebrate the contributions of women working in agriculture.
