Wrapping up with a note from our Executive Director, Cheryl Flood!⭐
"As a former FFA member and Florida State Fair exhibitor, I’m thankful to those whom supported and invested in me as a young leader in Agriculture. Those educational opportunities at the State Fair shaped me into who I am today.

Join me in celebrating National Ag Week; thank your local farmer, grower, rancher and all those invaluable facets of Florida Agriculture that produce the food and fiber we all enjoy and should never take for granted."
