Protecting Poultry on Delmarva is a Priority

With increased concern for the safety of all poultry on Delmarva, the Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA) announced today the cancellation of all poultry-related sessions at Delaware Ag Week.

Delaware Ag Week Marks 20 Years of Supporting Networking and Innovation in the Farm Community

Delaware producers look forward to heading to Harrington to attend this year’s Delaware Ag Week at the Delaware State Fairgrounds from January 13 – 16, 2025.

Scuse Has Always Hung His Hat Up In Delaware

Unlike Toby Keith’s song, Should’ve Been a Cowboy, Michael T. Scuse truly is Delaware’s cowboy. Growing up on his family farm in Smyrna, his love for the land is in his blood. Combined with his skill in riding Paint horses, sporting cowboy boots and his black cowboy hat, and his values which align with the cowboy code of conduct, Scuse has significantly impacted Delaware agriculture throughout his lifetime. When Governor Minner nominated Scuse to serve as Delaware’s ninth Secretary of Agriculture in 2001, she saw potential when perhaps he only had a “dream in his eye and a prayer in his heart.” But no matter where life has taken him, Secretary of Agriculture Michael T. Scuse has always hung his hat up in his home state of Delaware, fighting to ensure agriculture remains Delaware’s top industry.



Delaware Farmers Market Sales Grow to $4.14 Million in 2023

Scuse.
