The bill, known as the Agriculture Appreciation Act, proposes the enactment of several sections in the Revised Code that designate specific days and weeks to honor various aspects of agriculture in Ohio. Notable designations include the first week of October as "Ohio Stormwater Awareness Week," the week leading up to the last Saturday of February as "FFA Week," October 12 as "Farmer's Day," the week ending with the second Saturday of March as "4-H Week," March 21 as "Agriculture Day," and the second full week of November as "Ohio Soil Health Week."
These designations aim to raise awareness and appreciation for agricultural practices and the importance of soil health, particularly in honor of soil advocate David Brandt. The bill emphasizes the significance of agriculture in Ohio's culture and economy, promoting educational and celebratory activities related to these themes throughout the year.
