We Are Agriculture is a year-long series that will highlight the hard-work done by employees across the Department of Agriculture. Martha Worley, Executive Assistant to N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, is one of those employees. Stay tuned each Wednesday here on the blog or any of our social media accounts and join us in honoring those who continue to drive our state’s agriculture industry forward each day!

Not many people can say that they literally grew up in the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, but Martha Worley, Executive Assistant to N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, certainly can. Not only did she grow up immersed in the world of agriculture, but her mother worked for the department in accounting. “When I was a kid, my dad would bring me to the department when he came to pick up mom,” she said. “I remember coming here, playing here and meeting people, as well as hearing stories from mom about working here, so I literally grew up in this industry and business.”
