Planning Tips for Getting StartedHosting an Ag Day event can be easy and fun if you plan ahead. Here are six simple steps that will help make your efforts a success. Determine Your Primary MessageWhat is the single, most important point that you’d like to be able to communicate with your event? The importance of quality ingredients (to a successful recipe or article of clothing)? The value of sound nutrition? The financial impact of agriculture in your community? The contribution of agriculture to renewable fuel resources? The more specifically you can focus on - and demonstrate - your message, the more likely it is to be remembered! Identify Your AudienceDecide who you want to reach most with your message. Consider individuals who are least aware of the benefits of agriculture or have the ability to influence others. Some possibilities include:
Form a Strong CommitteeOnce you have a general idea of whom you’d like to reach, begin enlisting support from others who share your enthusiasm for agriculture. By joining together, you can expand creativity, lend credibility to your celebration and cut down on costs. Potential committee members may include:
Select an EventOne of the first steps in choosing your event may be to find out what other groups in your community, state or industry are doing to celebrate Ag Day. This is a good opportunity to enlist their support, thus enhancing each other’s efforts. Work with your committee to host an event that keeps to the mission of Ag Day, but also brings exposure to involved members and organizations. "Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful and most noble employment of man." George Washington Event Planners
