NORWICH – Dozens of area farmers and supporters of agriculture gathered at the Classic Car Museum’s events center in Norwich on Tuesday to observe the 43rd annual National Ag Day, a day set aside to promote agriculture’s vital role in society.

Each year, the Chenango County Farm Bureau capitalizes on Ag Day to underline the importance of Chenango’s ag industry. According to CCFB President Bradd Vickers, agriculture isn’t just about farming; it’s about the American way of life.
