Proclamation 8205 of November 16, 2007
National Farm-City Week, 2007
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our Nation's agricultural industry contributes greatly to the strength
of our economy. During National Farm-City Week, we honor the hard work
and dedication of America's farmers and ranchers and we highlight the
important urban and rural partnerships that help keep our country strong
and prosperous.
America's farmers and ranchers embody an important part of our national
heritage. As stewards of our land, our farmers and ranchers protect our
soil, water, and wildlife habitat. With hard work, discipline, and
ingenuity, they produce a safe and healthy food supply. Farmers and
ranchers work closely with processors, transporters, and retailers,
moving agricultural products from the farm to the homes of Americans and
people around the world. My Administration is working to open new
markets for American farm products and to encourage free and fair trade.
By expanding opportunities for American farmers and ranchers, we can
help keep our economy strong and growing.
As we celebrate Farm-City Week, we recognize the many contributions of
America's farmers and ranchers and all those who work to strengthen the
ties between our rural and urban communities. Our Nation is blessed by
those who grow, harvest, and deliver these products, and we honor their
dedication to feeding our country and the world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 16 through
November 22, 2007, as National Farm-City Week. I encourage all Americans
to recognize the many accomplishments of our farmers and ranchers, and
all those who contribute to the strength of America's agricultural
industry.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of
November, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
second.
GEORGE W. BUSH
