SPARKS - The Nevada Department of Agriculture recently announced the "Buy Nevada" brand program to promote state food and agriculture.
"Buy Nevada has been in planning for more than a year," said Jim Barbee, director of the Nevada Department of Agriculture. "We have been actively seeking to have a program that promotes the state's food and agriculture industry as a whole because of the department's statutory mandate to advance Nevada agriculture."
Buy Nevada promotes food and agriculture businesses such as food processors, small farmers, large growing operations, restaurants, retailers and distributors.
The recently-released study estimated the economic impact of the agriculture industry to the state is $5.3 billion.
Buy Nevada has tiered memberships ranging from free to higher-level sponsorships. Businesses may sign up online: http://buynevada.org/membership/join/.
