Oregon Department of Agriculture

The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is responsible for agriculture in Oregon. This agency of the government of the U.S. state of Oregon promotes and regulates food production and safety. It is headed by the director of agriculture, appointed by the governor of Oregon, subject to confirmation by the senate, advised by a board of ten members, and gubernatorial appointees. Through its nine divisions, it administers no fewer than 36 chapters of Oregon laws.

Established as the State Department of Agriculture (SDA) in 1931 by an act of the Oregon Legislative Assembly which consolidated a patchwork of state programs and bureaus.

Its legislatively adopted budget for the 2019–2021 biennium was $128.4 million. Provided by Wikipedia
