What a privilege to represent Biotech Applied Research on the cover of @cfagnews ! Special thanks to Ryan and Jessica for taking the time and putting together a factual and informative article.

Biochar is not a fad, nor a one stop shop solution. It’s another tool in a grower, landscaper, or garden enthusiast’s toolbox to reduce irrigation needs and fertilizer inputs, while maximizing plant production. 🌱♻️🌎

THE SUPER SERVERS x CITRUS🍊💥🍋

This project has been in the works since before I was crowned Miss Florida Citrus (y’all, I was manifesting😉), and I am SO excited to share it with you all now!

The Citrus Servers is a vibrant and engaging children’s activity book that introduces young readers to four citrus-powered superheroes: Crystal, Gavin, Amelia, and Jalen. Through fun worksheets and creative missions, kids can explore the basics of leadership development while learning about the importance of Florida’s citrus industry. Bursting with zest and purpose, The Citrus Servers makes learning about volunteerism and agriculture a fresh adventure!

Due to Hurricane Milton, the 2024 FCM Crop Estimate has been cancelled. My thoughts are with the countless families who have already felt the impact of the recent hurricanes and storms, as well as with everyone in Milton’s path in the days to come. Stay safe 🧡

Thanks Central FL Ag News for the feature and the unexpected cover. Michelle Trice did a fantastic job wrangling this discombobulated interviewee 😁 I'm glad she highlighted some of my favorite organizations like @allflaorg @conservationflorida and @polkforever . And thank you so much to @jessup_durden_ and @matt_pearcep1 ! It was so special to me to have quotes from my cattlemen friends💚

If you're looking at year end giving please check out @conservationflorida which is a state-wide land conservancy with a primary focus on connecting and protecting the #floridawildlifecorridor and @allflaorg which works to strategically influence the future of Wild Florida by creating a conservation community that shows up, speaks up, and engages in tangible ways with shaping our state.
