This year's conference, "Growing for the Future," will feature a review and update of Florida's agribusiness from Florida Farm Bureau, an example of an Agritourism success story from a Mississippi farmer, a view of Alternative Energy from University of Florida, Milton campus and Santa Rosa County's own, Commissioner Bob Cole, updates us on his Biodiesel efforts.
