  • Study additional methods of protection for farming, horticulture, and forestry and make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners           
  • Perform other agricultural, horticultural, and forestry-related tasks or duties assigned by the Board of Commissioners
  • Provide recommendations and input on modification to the Person County Farmland Preservation Plan
  • Provide guidance to County Departments on agricultural related issues
