National Farm City Week - The Nassau County Farm Bureau hosted a breakfast today celebrating the contributions of American Agriculture to our way of life. Nassau County Agriculture Agent Steve Gaul presented some important data about the significant economic and environmental impact of agriculture right here at home. Did you know that there are over 450 farming operations right here in our county? Did you know that those farms and the planted pines cover 265,000 acres in our county? Did you know that these farms and the related services and industries provide over one BILLION dollars in output impact annually? Our partners at the Farm Bureau remind us all to be thankful every day - especially during this season of Thanksgiving - for the abundant food supply we enjoy because of the work and diligence of our American agriculture industry. The University of Florida Extension Service is proud to share that message through our educational programs.
