Best Answer

The US Commissary Department was responsible for providing food to Union forces in the US Civil War. The Commissary Department also benefited in its task by the creation of the US Department of Agriculture. Under its policies, farmers were rewarded for planting needed crops for the war. This also covered livestock to provide meat for Union soldiers.
