LIZELLA, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture, Gary Black, visited Skyview Elementary school to celebrate Agriculture Day, Wednesday.

Agriculture Day is a part of Feed My School Week which is an initiative to encourage schools to serve locally grown food.

There were nearly twenty exhibits at the Skyview celebration, including Southeast United Dairy Association, and Georgia Farm Bureau.
