The 12th annual AG Day will take place on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at New Mexico State University (NMSU) in Las Cruces. The event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Pan American Center south parking lot, before the Aggies’ football game against Kennesaw State.
AG Day is organized by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) and NMSU’s College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES). The event aims to highlight the significance of agriculture in New Mexico through educational activities and exhibits designed for families and children.
Activities planned for AG Day include food sampling featuring local products, interactive booths with hands-on agricultural experiences, and exhibits that demonstrate how agriculture impacts daily life. Local student groups, agricultural organizations, and businesses are expected to participate. The New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau is serving as the presenting sponsor.
New Mexico Agriculture Secretary Jeff Witte stated, “AG Day celebrates what’s behind New Mexico agriculture, especially the educational aspect. It’s a chance for families and students to learn, connect and enjoy our state’s traditions.”
Rolando Flores Galarza, dean of the College of ACES, added, “AG Day allows ACES to showcase how agriculture is evolving. Through hands-on activities and innovation, we’re preparing the next generation for a strong future in farming and ranching.”
The event is free to attend and takes place just before kickoff at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
