The purchase of these license plates is seen as aninvestment in the state’s agricultural trade.
California’s,for instance, directly supports youth agricultureprograms that have an established record of success,as well as youth leadership development. Florida’s“Ag Tag” is used to help fund Florida Agriculture inthe Classroom, a program designed to teach Florida’sfuture consumers and leaders about the importanceof the Florida agricultural industry. And Michigan’sAgricultural Heritage plate supports agricultureeducation programs for kids from kindergarten throughhigh school.
