01 · The brief

This House resolution expresses support for designating March 21, 2026, as “National Women in Agriculture Day.” It highlights women’s contributions to U.S. agriculture, cites statistics on women producers and sales, notes mentorship and education roles, references the 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer, and encourages citizens to recognize and empower women in agriculture.

Passage5/100

Text is a nonbinding House resolution; such measures do not create statute and rarely become law.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear and appropriately constructed commemorative resolution: it states its purpose, provides supporting statements, specifies the date, and urges recognition and encouragement. The statutory or administrative detail that would be expected for substantive or operational legislation is absent, which is appropriate for a symbolic designation.
