Q: I recently saw a roadside vendor selling Vidalia onions. Is he required to be licensed by the Department of Agriculture?

A: No. The Georgia Department of Agriculture does not issue temporary licenses. Roadside vendors are regulated by the county where they are located. It is possible that they will require a license such as a peddler's license. However, he is subject to random inspection by one of our inspectors to ensure that they are actually selling Vidalia onions.

Q: I am working on a scrapbook about Georgia. I would like to have answers to the following questions: Is there a Georgia Agriculture Day observed? If so when is it?

A: Yes, the Georgia Department of Agriculture celebrates Agriculture Day each year with an Ag Day essay and art contest as part of National Agriculture Week. The National Ag in the Classroom Council designates the dates for National Agriculture week in March and it is usually the third week of that month. The date that we have selected for 2007 will be Thursday, March 16 which will be the date of our Ag Day program.
