The full agenda has been announced for the Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo scheduled for Aug. 21–22 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. The event provides a great venue for growers to network with their peers and learn during several educational seminars.
The general session on the morning of Aug. 21 will cover a wide range of topics including the farm bill, promoting Florida-grown fruits and vegetables, and a special ag policy panel discussion that delves into key agricultural issues facing Florida growers. Mike Joyner, president of the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, will moderate the panel discussion. Participants include Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson, Representative Danny Alvarez and Senator Jay Collins.
Two seminar sessions dedicated to citrus production will provide growers with information they need in the fight against HLB. Highlights include updated information on trunk-injection therapy, new varieties and rootstocks, as well as researcher and grower panel discussions.
