TDA Tennessee Department of Agriculture

The state agency that supports farming, forestry and food in Tennessee, with programs and information for producers and landowners.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture describes itself as the state agency that supports agriculture, forestry and related industries. Its website covers programs, regulations and information for producers and landowners. Owners of farms, horse properties and rural land in Middle Tennessee may look to it for information that touches on livestock, land use and farm programs that relate to fencing projects.

We are a private fence company and are not part of the department. We build farm and pasture fences and can provide written scopes and measurements when you are planning a project. For questions about regulations, programs or livestock rules, we recommend contacting the department or your local extension office directly.
