Established in 1874
The Georgia Department of Agriculture was established in 1874. We are the oldest state department of agriculture in the United States. Tyler Harper is the current Commissioner. The Georgia Department of Agriculture helps farmers, consumers, and businesses. We regulate animals, food, fuel, plants, soil, and pesticides produced or sold within the State of Georgia.
