Mission
To represent Suwannee county agriculture and work for the betterment of the agriculture industry.
Program accomplishments
- SCFB partnered with UF/IFAS Research Center for Community Day. This program's purpose was to educate the non farming community on the importance of agriculture in Suwannee County. Participants had the opportunity to learn about a variety of plants from blueberries to chestnuts and citrus, visit a progressive greenhouse and learn about water and fertilizer management.
- Students attended Youth Ag Day in Branford. The purpose of this event is to expand our local youth's awareness and understanding of Florida agriculture and natural resources. Students from pre K through third grade were exposed to Florida's agriculture and taught about its impact to our everyday life as they rotated through different booths.
- Farm City Week is a national event that brings together the urban and ag community to forge a bond between city and agriculture through education. Suwannee County Farm Bureau held an essay contest that is designed to promote the value of agriculture in the community. Agriculture is constantly misunderstood and improvements can be made by understanding issues. Students were asked to write an essay on Why is agriculture important to our community, state, and nation? The contest gives students an opportunity to research agriculture the issues faced by farmers and ranchers. They learn to appreciate where their food comes from.
