government employment office / division of agriculture Explanation: any combination with "exchange" is British usage according to several references. The source below explicitly references the first definition as American usage. The second term I know from my ten years of experience living in states (Iowa and Kentucky) with economies relying heavily on agriculture. Dietl/Lorenz Dictionary of Legal, Commerical and Political Terms |
