This First Day Cover features the 13¢ The American Farmer stamp issued March 15, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The cachet shows a classic horse-drawn plow silhouette against a soft peach background, with the green Bicentennial star emblem and "1776–1976" marking the era.
The stamp honors the central role of American farmers in the nation's development from the Revolutionary period through the Bicentennial. Agriculture sustained the colonies, powered westward expansion, and remained vital to the economy in 1976.
A notable detail is the stamp's green circular design depicting a farmer's profile with wheat stalks, paired with the cachet's simple yet evocative plow illustration that captures rural heritage.
This cover makes an appealing addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, agricultural topicals, or 1970s U.S. postal history, with clean postmark and attractive cachet artwork.
