GA Department of Agriculture

The Georgia Department of Agriculture, established in 1874, is the oldest state department of agriculture in the United States and is dedicated to supporting farmers and producers in Georgia. Under the leadership of Commissioner Tyler J. Harper, a 7th generation farmer, the department is responsible for ensuring consumer protection, regulating agricultural products, and marketing Georgia-grown goods both locally and globally.

This department oversees a wide range of areas including animal health, food safety, pest control, and plant management, while also implementing programs to address current agricultural challenges. Additionally, it engages in initiatives such as mental health awareness for the farming community and disaster response efforts, reinforcing its commitment to the state's agricultural sector.
