Serving the Agriculture Community

Bank of Commerce and ICBA Celebrate America’s Ag Community

National Agriculture Week is March 20-26 

Rawlins, Wyoming, March 20, 2022 - In recognition of National Ag Day, Bank of Commerce and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are celebrating the contributions of America’s local farmers, ranchers, and agricultural enterprises.

Community banks provide 80% of all financing to and are often the catalysts for new and expanded business opportunities within their communities. In fact, community banks provide roughly $130 billion in agriculture loans.

National Ag Day was founded nearly 50 years ago to recognize the contributions of farmers in providing Americans with healthy, affordable, and abundant food options. ICBA offers the following facts about the agriculture industry:

  • The typical American farmer produces enough food and fiber to feed 166 people, producing jobs and investment throughout the economy.
  • Americans spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food, allowing consumers financial freedom to purchase other goods.
  • Farming and related industries employ 21.6 million people, making up 11 percent of total U.S. employment.
