On May 15th, 2012, the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will commemorate the 150th anniversary
of its founding in 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln signed into law an act
of Congress establishing the United States Department of Agriculture. President
Lincoln established the USDA because he recognized the potential of America’s
farmers to find new ways to cultivate the land with advances in research and
technology, allowing them to provide a safe, ample food supply for our nation
and the world. |
