I am the UF/IFAS Suwannee County Commercial Crops Extension agent. I have a lifelong love for everything agriculture. My husband and I have a small row crop and livestock farm in Lee, Florida. We raise corn, peanuts, Brangus cattle, LaMancha dairy goats, and show horses. My husband also supervises the farming of about 12,000 acres of corn, peanuts, carrots and cotton for a corporate operation. This gives me a unique perspective of both the corporate and small farmer sides of farming. We need to preserve agriculture and the community of leaders it produces.
