Over 800 agricultural leaders, state and national elected and appointed officials attended the Golden Anniversary of the Taste of Maryland Agriculture on February 6, 2020. The Maryland Agriculture Council is proud to represent the state’s broad and diverse farming community – and to carry on the original mission of promoting the importance of Maryland agriculture to the state’s economy and its people. A bountiful buffet of Maryland agricultural products was enjoyed as we celebrated our state’s number one industry and built relationships with the folks that make decisions in Annapolis and Washington, DC, that effect our farms, businesses, and organizations every day.
