Georgia is taking its place at the national forefront of agricultural policy, with Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper selected to join the America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) newly formed America First Agriculture Commissioners and Secretaries Council. Harper is one of just twelve members chosen from across the country to contribute to the council. Harper expressed his pride in representing Georgia on this important council, vowing to champion policies that prioritize the success of American and Georgian farmers. He emphasized the importance of Georgia having a voice in the national agricultural conversation, given its status as a leading agricultural state. The council is committed to advancing the Farmers First Agenda, which focuses on three key pillars: driving economic prosperity in rural communities, re-evaluating government structures to better serve farmers, and crafting nutrition policies that prioritize American health and security. Joining Harper on the council are agricultural leaders from states including Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, and South Carolina. AFPI, the non-profit organization spearheading the initiative, underscores its commitment to ensuring American values remain central to public policy, a sentiment keenly observed by agricultural producers nationwide. This new council aims to be a powerful advocate for farmers across the country, shaping the future of American agriculture.
