The Florida Strawberry Growers Association’s 29th Agritech Trade Show and Educational Seminar was a huge success this year. It was two days of interacting with industry vendors and fellow strawberry and vegetable growers filled with information and new products to keep the growers in the race. We sold out exhibitor space and over 300 growers and industry friends attended each day. The theme this year was NASCAR. We even had a member bring in a real racecar! With a full agenda, growers were updated on new developments in nutrient management, irrigation system management, disease controls, and new strawberry variety and breeding research. The speakers included professors from the University of Florida Gulf Coast Research & Education Center, located in Balm, Florida.
Thank you to all who volunteered to make this, our 29th Agritech, a success!!
