Throughout the year this blog will feature a number of items to commemorate the milestone.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The California Department of Food and Agriculture (then simply the Dept. of Ag) began in 1919 when various Ag regulatory programs were pulled together under one umbrella by the state legislature. However, there are several other starting points of note \u2013 in 1878, 1880, 1899 and 1913. In fact, the agency has already celebrated a \u2018100th anniversary,\u2019 back in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An early Ag regulatory effort came in 1878, when the legislature passed a law to prohibit the labeling of oleomargarine as butter, but made no provision for enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/FullSizeRender-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11411\" width=\"417\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/FullSizeRender-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/FullSizeRender-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><figcaption><em>Another 100th anniversary 39 years ago<\/em>  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years later, in 1880\u2013the development embraced for the first 100th anniversary\u2013the legislature appointed a seven-member State Board of Viticulture to protect grapevines from phylloxera root rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1899, California began its long relationship with invasive fruit flies by pioneering an effort to keep the Mexican fruit fly out of the United States. CDFA\u2019s Division of Plant Health and Pest Prevention Services still battles that pest as well as many others as it carries out its mission to protect California\u2019s food supply and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in 1899, the office of the California State Veterinarian was established by the legislature to \u201cprotect the health of all domestic animals of the state from all contagious and infectious diseases, so far as practical.\u201d It gave birth to what is now CDFA\u2019s Animal Health Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1913 the legislature created the Office of the State Superintendent of Weights and Measures. The office\u2019s early responsibilities included inspections of railroad track scales and weights and measures used in state hospitals and prisons. The office joined the Department of Agriculture in 1921 as the Division of Weights and Measures and took on duties like mattress inspection and bread standardization. CDFA\u2019s Division of Measurement Standards continues with the core functions of that work today, making sure that measurements used in commerce are fair and accurate, although bread and mattresses are no longer among its programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that multi-faceted beginning CDFA has progressed to a thoroughly modern agency&nbsp;organized into&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/cdfa.ca.gov\/Divisions.html\">six divisions<\/a>. The Department operates at more than 100 locations throughout the state. These divisions and their programs provide valuable services to producers, merchants and the public. Many of CDFA\u2019s programs are conducted in partnership with local county offices of agricultural commissioners and sealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CDFA strives to support a tradition of innovation and agricultural diversity by working with private industry, academia and public sector agencies. These partnerships allow the department to adapt public policy to a rapidly changing industry \u2013 California agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#CDFACentennial<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;The California Department of Food and Agriculture is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a state agency in 2019.
