Department of Agriculture Celebrates Centenary Open House
October 22, 10am - 2pm
One hundred years ago this month, the state legislature voted to abolish the state Board of Agriculture and establish a state Department of Agriculture. Save the date for a 100th birthday celebration on October 22. The Board of Agriculture, precursor to the Department, began in the mid 1800s with the primary function of providing educational lectures and programs around the state for farmers.
