COMMISSIONER'S MESSAGE
On June 29, 2007, Governor Timothy M. Kaine appointed Todd P. Haymore as Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Haymore, a native of Danville, Virginia, currently resides in Henrico County. He comes to VDACS from the Universal Leaf Tobacco Company, where he was Corporate Director of External Affairs and Vice President of the Universal Leaf Foundation.
"When you get down to the essence of things, agriculture is the one industry we cannot live without,” said Haymore in a June 29 statement. “Agriculture literally sustains life, and in Virginia, it also sustains our economy. It is our largest industry, with nothing else coming a close second. I am very pleased to begin my new role as Commissioner of this exemplary state agency and to serve as a spokesperson for Virginia’s farmers, processors and consumers.”
