“Life of a Southern Farmer: Georgia Department of Agriculture”

The Georgia Department of Agriculture is not a part of the USDA. According to their web site, they are the oldest state department of agriculture in the Unites States. It was established in the year of 1874. They help regulate and promote agricultural ideas. They also try to ensure food safety throughout the state. This is achieved by supporting local places of agricultural commission, which consists of grocery and convenient stores, food processing plants, seeders, and several more.  For example they provide information of local farmers markets. The information contains the locations and times of sale. Without this department’s help, Georgia’s agriculture would be lost. Our farm would be left in chaos as well as many others. I appreciate the work that they do for our state and every Georgian should too.
