Collection Description

Biographical Note

Tommy Irvin served as Georgia's Commissioner of Agriculture from 1969 to 2011. Prior to that, he held public office on the Habersham County Board of Education (1956-1976) and in the Georgia General Assembly (1957-1967), and also served as Executive Secretary to Governor Lester Maddox (1967-1968).

Irvin was appointed as Commissioner of Agriculture in 1969 by Governor Maddox after J. Phil Campbell resigned. The commissioner heads the Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for promoting Georgia agriculture products and also for regulating food safety.

Eradication of animal diseases was an early priority for the department, given the significant economic impact of an outbreak and the potential for some diseases to be transmitted to humans. Georgia was declared free of hog cholera in 1971 and of brucellosis and cattle tuberculosis in 1974.

Irvin also established Georgia's first International Trade Division in 1974 to promote Georgia agriculture products abroad. As a result, Georgia's agriculture exports rose from $207 million in 1972 to $615.3 million in 1984. In 1985, they established their first overseas office in Brussels, Belgium to expand Georgia agriculture exports to Europe and the Middle East. Under Irvin's direction, the department also pursued markets in the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba.

One unusual challenge that Irvin faced was over if horses with piroplasmosis could compete in the Olympic Games held in Atlanta in 1996. The disease, which is transmitted by ticks, is common in Europe but not in the United States, and horses with piroplasmosis were banned from entering the state. Irvin worked out an agreement that allowed these horses to compete while also instituting safety measures that successfully prevented the disease from spreading to any other horses.

While commissioner, Irvin provided leadership on agriculture policy for the region and the nation. He was president of the Southern Association of State Departments of Agriculture (1972-1973), the Southern United States Trade Association (1981-1983), and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (1987). The U.S. Department of Agriculture also used his programs to eradicate animal diseases and to control plant pests, and for ensuring food safety, as models for the rest of the country.

Irvin chose to retire from office in 2010. He was succeeded by Gary Black in 2011.

Tommy Irvin was born on July 14, 1929, the son of a North Georgia farmer. He married Edna Bernice Frady on June 1, 1947 and they had 5 children. Prior to embarking on his political career, he was self-employed in the lumber industry and also had business ventures in real estate, nursing homes, and food service establishments. Irvin was also an active member of the Georgia Free & Accepted Masons beginning with his initiation in 1953.
