This page lists FDACS Office of Agriculture Water Policy Tallahassee and field staff.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Office of Agricultural Water Policy is headquartered in Tallahassee. It is staffed by professionals with expertise in disciplines including soil and water conservation, resource management, environmental regulation, biology, ecology, engineering and geographic information systems.
In addition to the staff in Tallahassee, the Office of Agricultural Water Policy has field staff located in or near key agricultural areas and, in many cases, co-located with the regional water management districts. The office also contracts with soil and water conservation districts to provide technical support to fulfill the mission of the office. The co-location of Office of Agricultural Water Policy staff with the districts is financially efficient and helps facilitate communication between the districts, the Office of Agricultural Water Policy and the agricultural community. Field staff office locations include Okeechobee, Highlands, Wauchula, Trenton, Palatka and Live Oak. Growers are encouraged to take advantage of services and programs provided by the Office of Agricultural Water Policy in their area.
