GUS R. DOUGLASS STATEMENT ON DEATH OF CECIL UNDERWOOD “I was greatly saddened to learn of the passing of former West Virginia Governor Cecil Underwood. He and I started our careers in government at around the same time. Throughout his career, he was always a great friend to agriculture, particularly to student farmers in 4-H and FFA, and a great personal friend to me. He was a true gentleman, and will go down in history as one of West Virginia’s greatest leaders. He will be missed.” The West Virginia Department of Agriculture protects plant, animal and human health through a variety of scientific, regulatory and consumer protection programs, as mandated by state law. The Commissioner of Agriculture is one of six statewide elected officials in West Virginia. Currently, Commissioner Gus R. Douglass is the longest-serving agriculture commissioner in the nation.
