Hugh’s View on
Agriculture Issues

 

Ensuring Food Safety

Maintaining a safe and healthy food population is a chief priority for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture. During his time at the SCDA, Commissioner Hugh Weathers has established a food policy task force to ensure a safe and healthy food population. By bringing together experts from every aspect of the food industry, Commissioner Weathers has improved food safety in our state and helped ensure that state resources are being used in the most effective manner possible.

An Effective, Efficient SCDA

Long before Hugh Weathers became Commissioner of Agriculture, he was a farmer and businessman. On the farm and in the office, Hugh learned the important skills needed to successfully run a small business.

Hugh Weathers has brought that same common sense, business-based approach to the SCDA. His commitment to time tested, business principles ensures that the Department runs effectively and efficiently, while providing the people of South Carolina with the responsive and valuable resource that is the Department of Agriculture.

The State Farmers Market

The relocation of the State Farmers Market has been a long-term goal for the Department of Agriculture. Thanks to the leadership of Commissioner Hugh Weathers, the hard work of countless agency employees, and the cooperation of public and prevent interests the new Farmers Market is a reality. The new Farmers Market will serve as a valuable resource for agriculture throughout the state. In addition to encouraging expanded market opportunities, the Farmers Market will serve as stage of sorts for all that South Carolina agriculture has to offer.

Agricultural Competitiveness

Commissioner Hugh Weathers is committed to improving South Carolina’s agricultural competitiveness. Like Governor Sanford, Hugh Weathers believes the long-term success of our state depends on our ability to compete at not just the regional or national level, but in the global marketplace as well. By re-gearing the focus of the SCDA towards improving economic conditions for agriculture, Commissioner Weathers will enable all types of farmers from all parts of our state to realize their fullest success.
