ATLANTA β Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper announced appointments to 13 of Georgia’s Agriculture Commodity Commissions on Tuesday. The Georgia Department of Agriculture administers the farmer-funded and self-help programs. Funds collected by the commissions under grower-approved market orders support that research, education and promotion of each commodity.
“As a seventh-generation farmer, I know first-hand the vital role the Georgia Agriculture Commodity Commissions play in supporting and promoting our stateβs No. 1 industry,” Harper said in a news release. “I am proud to congratulate these appointees, and I thank them for their willingness to serve on these valued and important commissions as we work together to support Georgia agriculture.”
