Farm-City Week
Proclamation
WHEREAS
farmers and ranchers literally feed the world by producing a
bounty of agricultural products and,
WHEREAS
to do this they rely on essential partnerships with urban
and suburban communities to supply, sell and deliver
finished products across the country and around the globe
and,
WHEREAS
rural and urban communities working together have made the
most of our nation’s rich agricultural resources as they
contribute to the health and well being of our country and
to the strength of our economy and,
WHEREAS
during National Farm-City Week, we recognize the importance
of this cooperative network and,
WHEREAS, agriculture employs more than 24 million workers
including farmers and ranchers, shippers, processors,
marketers, retailers, truck drivers, inspectors and other
who annually contribute more than 1.3 trillion to our gross
domestic product and,
WHEREAS, the agricultural industry provides us with food and
clothing as well as fuel for our energy needs and,
WHEREAS, as we welcome new opportunities for trade, the hard
work and successful cooperation between farmers and city
workers will continue to play a vital role in our nation’s
future and,
WHEREAS, Farm-City collaborations help and improve our food
and fiber supply and contribute to a better quality of life
for countless citizens and,
WHEREAS, we commend the many Americans whose hard work and
ingenuity reflect the true spirit of America and help to
ensure a prosperous future for all and,
WHEREAS, this week, as we gather with family and friends
around the Thanksgiving table, it is fitting that we count
our blessings the vital farm-city partnerships that have
done so much to improve the quality of our lives.
Now,
therefore, I Rob Rothenburger, Shelby County
Judge-Executive, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do
hereby proclaim November 16th through 22nd, 2007
as Farm-City Week. I call upon the citizens in rural and
urban areas to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of
all those who, working together, produce and supply our
community and nation with an abundance of agricultural
products.
Done in
Shelbyville this 20tht day of November, 2007
