The Stow Agricultural Commission was created by the December 2005 Special Town Meeting to help retain the rural character of Stow by helping to preserve agriculture. The Commission will help keep Stow farms viable by promoting agriculture through educational literature, events, and articles. The Commission can act as a voice for agriculture in Town government, helping to ensure that the various boards understand the impact of their actions on agriculture. The Agricultural Commission is made up of five members, appointed to three year terms by the Board of Selectmen. The current composition of the Commission is:
