McMillan’s Message Continued... As a state agency, our role is not only a regulator of agriculture and agribusiness but also as an advocate for this vital industry. Our goal at the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries is to pursue policies that support agriculture and agribusiness, promoting them to markets outside of our state and nation, and protecting our food supply while ensuring the accuracy of the weights and measures of commerce. It’s a long-term proposition, but worth pursuing as we step up our agricultural production to meet burgeoning worldwide demand for food and fiber.
