SCDA LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE, WWW.AGRICULTURE.SC.GOV

News Date May 02, 2008

       South Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) pleased to announce that SCDA's website has moved to http://www.agriculture.sc.gov. 
       If you drive a car, own a pet, plant a garden, or eat even one meal a day, then you depend on your South Carolina Department of Agriculture's programs and services. SCDA hopes that consumers and farmers will find the new site not only more graphically attractive and user-friendly, but that they will find information relative to all their needs--from checking the accuracy of fuel dispensers to analyzing the purity of seeds. Where else can farmers check the market news, the local weather, and join the Certified SC Grown program all with a click of a mouse? Consumers can also point and click to information on food recalls, the location of nearby Certified Roadside Markets, recipes, and gardening tips through quick links to Clemson's Home and Garden Center and Gardening123.   
       Everyone can still subscribe to and advertise in the Market Bulletin by mail, email, or fax, but now they can also subscribe and advertise through an online process. It's as easy as 1-2-3. Just follow directions at the Market Bulletin section on the site or call our Market Bulletin staff at 803/734-2536 and they'll assist in the process. So with all this available in one place, bookmark the new site for future reference.
