In thestate governments of the United States, all 50states have theexecutive position ofagriculture commissioner,director of agriculture, orsecretary of agriculture. This official is in charge of the state's agriculture department. The agriculture commissioners are organized at the national level by theNational Association of State Departments of Agriculture.[1]

The agriculture commissioner is elected in 12 states:Alabama,Florida,Georgia,Iowa,Kentucky,Louisiana,Mississippi,North Carolina,North Dakota,South Carolina,Texas, andWest Virginia. The powers and duties of the office vary from state to state, but are often substantial: in about 40 states, agriculture departments regulate the animal industry, and in roughly half the states, agriculture departments regulatefood safety andmeat inspection.[2] In some states, the agriculture commissioner has more power. For example, in Florida the agriculture commissioner is one of four members of theFlorida Cabinet (along with the governor, chief financial officer, and attorney general), giving the commissioner some influence over state policy beyond agriculture.[2] In North Dakota, the agriculture commissioner sits on a number of important boards, such as theNorth Dakota Industrial Commission (which oversees the state-ownedNorth Dakota Mill and Elevator andBank of North Dakota).[2]
