Welcome to the Delaware Department of Agriculture website. I hope you will use this as a means of learning more about the Department and its services and more about Delaware Agriculture. The Department's mission is to sustain and promote the viability of food, fiber, and agricultural industries in Delaware through quality services that protect and enhance the environment, health, and welfare of the general public. We have a dedicated staff who strive effectively and efficiently to accomplish the Department's mission. I invite you to call the Department for information, assistance, and services.

I am honored that Governor Minner has appointed me to be Acting Secretary of Agriculture during this transition period between the completion of her administration and the advent of the new administration.  I want to assure you that the quality services and support provided to you by the Delaware Department of Agriculture will continue without interruption during this period.  

I share former Secretary Scuse’s belief in the strength and quality of Delaware agriculture and his commitment to serving you, our farmers, and all in Delaware’s agricultural community.  As Acting Secretary, my door will always be open to you as we strive to continue on the path of sustaining and growing our billion dollar industry.
