Maryland Secretary of Agriculture

The Student Government Association, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Collegiate 4-H and Phi Chi hosted Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Buddy Hance on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Nanticoke in the Stamp Student Union.

Secretary of Agriculture Buddy Hance discussed the benefits of "Buy Local" and the importance of returning to our agricultural roots. Founded in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College, our university has a long history of stewardship to the land. While you may think that farming only affects farmers and prices at the grocery store, you will be surprised to learn that how and where food is produced can affect the environment, personal health, local economies and bio security.
