- 5. Once it’s this: It can never be GREEN space again!!!!
- 6. FLORIDA BMP’S • WHAT ARE AGRICULTURAL BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES? • FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES’ BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) PROGRAM, A BMP IS DEFINED BY LAW AS A MEANS, A PRACTICE OR COMBINATION OF PRACTICES DETERMINED BY THE COORDINATING AGENCIES, BASED ON RESEARCH, FIELD TESTING AND EXPERT REVIEW, TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND PRACTICABLE ON- LOCATION MEANS, INCLUDING ECONOMIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS, CONSIDERATIONS, FOR IMPROVING WATER QUALITY IN AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN URBAN DISCHARGES. ACCORDING TO SECTION 373.4595(2)(A), FLORIDA STATUTES, BMPS FOR AGRICULTURAL DISCHARGES MUST REFLECT A BALANCE BETWEEN WATER WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY

- 17. Blue Dye Test
- 20. Soil Moisture Probe & Weather Station in Watermelons
- 21. TNC partnership with IFAS Extension Agents New soil moisture probes are expected to save water for irrigation, keep nutrients out of groundwater and save money for farmers. The Nature Conservancy and researchers at the University of Florida with funding from Mosaic Company, Inc. have started monitoring water levels in soils for Southwest Florida farmers who will be able to access the data via a digital dashboard. “The whole key is the soil moisture probes are a great tool for the ag industry to manage their irrigation which in return manages their nutrients because you are not pushing the nutrients out of the root zone of the plants,” according to David Royal, Florida Nutrient Stewardship Project manager.

- 34. No Till Responsible Nutrient Management Practitioner Winner Brooks Garland with Lee Peanut is the first in Florida and the Southeast to win this award
- 35. • COMMISSIONER’S AG•ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AWARDS 2022 • LEE PEANUT FARMS Lee When Brooks Garland joined Lee Peanut Farms in 2011, he understood that farming in the Suwannee River Valley would be challenging. Deep sandy soil, diverse plant diseases and rising operating costs would make work difficult. For Lee Peanut Farms to be successful, Brooks recognized the need to streamline the use of its resources and inputs, and to implement Best Management Practices. • GROVES OF PEACE RIVER THE GROVES OF PEACE RIVER Zolfo Springs, In 2006, third generation farmer Marlon Pendergrass left the hills of Northern Alabama for the fertile lands of central Florida. Along with his family, Marlon journeyed south to join his uncle at the family’s newest farm, The Groves of Peace River. What began as an opportunity to expand the family business quickly grew into an unmistakable passion for Florida Citrus. • USHER LAND & TIMBER Chiefland Usher Land and Timber, located in Chiefland is part of Usher Farms, a family owned and operated timber and cow-calf operation just a mile from the Suwanee River. Under the guidance of owners Ken and Lynetta Griner, the operation is growing more than timber and cattle, it’s growing awareness of the importance of agriculture in Florida.

Notes de l'éditeur
- The BMP manuals are the tool that OAWP uses to enroll agricultural producers in the BMP program. The manuals have 4 sections; descriptions of BMPs, Notice of Intent to Implement BMPs, the corresponding checklist and supplemental reference information. The Notice of Intent or NOI is the tool that producers and staff use to enroll them in the program. An NOI will only be entered when a site visit has occurred. Self-enrollment is not allowed. The NOI allows producers notice the state of their intent to manage their property in a specific manner. The associated checklist identifies practices they will use. Recordkeeping is addressed in each manuals and is denoted by a pencil icon. Sample record keeping forms are provided in the manuals.
- North American Fertilizer industry leaders continually place a high priority on nutrient management. In a recent survey, TFI executive committee members were asked to identify industry priorities as a way to check in on the organization’s strategic efforts. Water quality and our ability to reduce nutrient losses to improve water quality continually remain at the top of the priority list. In 2016, industry members helped shape industry goals relative to 4R nutrient stewardship, and the defined vision they focused on achieving was for ‘all plant nutrients to be applied using the 4Rs. Industry efforts collectively focus on research, education, assessment, outreach and advocacy. I’ll touch on all of these today, but lets start with research.
