About the holiday

Brief History

Farmers are very important. They grow food for people. National Farmers' Day is to thank farmers for their work. It is in October. The date is special because it is the end of harvest. Sometimes the festival lasts a whole month. Every three years there is a special night called the Harvest Moon. The Old Farmer's Festival, held in Louisiana, serves as a reminder of the way farmers once worked in pre-modern times. In the northern regions, the first frost typically occurs in October, prompting farmers to begin harvesting their crops early in preparation for the impending winter. However, thanks to advancements in farming techniques, the growing season has been extended, resulting in increased food production and financial gains.
