The Governor's Intergovernmental Commission for Agriculture (GICA), a public-private coordinating body created by Executive Order and staffed by the Maryland Department of Agriculture, is conducting a statewide survey, seeking information on the current state of agricultural education in Maryland. An online survey will be available to the general public through Oct. 14.
“GICA is interested in gathering information from all segments of the community about what kinds of agricultural education programs currently exist in Maryland, what works in those programs and what is lacking,” said Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance, who also chairs the commission. “We will use the information we gather to help develop recommendations that will strengthen the public’s understanding of agriculture.”
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will be available online until 5 p.m. Friday, October 14, 2011.
