The mission of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is to serve and regulate Idaho's agriculture industry, which is central to communities across the state. Established in 1919, the ISDA oversees more than 60 sections of Idaho Code, with a structure that efficiently implements its statutory duties, including divisions and a bureau to support its mission.
The Idaho Agricultural Development Loan Program aims to offer financing and assistance to individuals and organizations in Idaho working on agricultural projects that contribute to rural economic development. This program seeks to support those who are unable to secure credit from conventional sources, focusing on enhancing the agriculture sector within rural areas of Idaho.
