County Commission Monthly Updates

We visited with the Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday, August 19, and highlighted some of the commercial agriculture and natural resource programming that is led by Steven Gaul, our Agriculture Agent. Steve presented his paper on Characteristics of Small Farm Operators in Florida, which was reviewed and published by the University of Florida for use state wide. You can view our monthly presentation by visiting the county website at http://www.nassauclerk.com/video/video.livemeetings.cfm. You can view the monthly activity report and review Steve's paper by clicking on Tab C of the agenda. I plan to present an update of this kind each month at the 3rd Wednesday meeting of the Board. Over the next few months we hope to provide some detail about each of our major program areas and share success stories from each of our agents about their work right here in Nassau County.

Tonight we celebrate the achievements of our 4-H members at the annual 4-H Awards program. This event is always a fun and exciting end to the 4-H year, recognizing the significant achievements of both the youth and adults who volunteer all year in this program.
