The proceeds of the rodeo will be used to support local youth. The roper was Charles Robert Stevens. Held in conjunction with the Okeechobee County Fair, rodeo goers also had the opportunity to enjoy the fair atmosphere, including the midway, vendors, and competitive exhibits. With events sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the rodeo consistently draws contestants from throughout the southeastern United States. This weekend, several traveled even greater distances to compete for prize money and a trophy buckle.
Jeremy Hester and Troy Weekley, Jr. The Steer Wrestling event was won in just 4. Beautiful Florida weather that seemed special-ordered from above helped lead to an incredible weekend! Native American Cultural activities continue to be the backbone of the four-day event. Cooking and sewing demonstrations, alligator wrestling, a snake handler, native arts and crafts displays, and an authentic Indian village were available for amusement and educational purposes. Native dancers and storytellers also intrigued crowds throughout the weekend.
Midway rides thrilled those young-at-heart, and Seminole 4-H members had many of their small animal projects on display. While this type of accident is not. The fashion show presented an opportunity for clothing contest entries in categories other than years old to be shown off to the public. The races were open to tribal member entries, but anyone in attendance was welcome to watch.
Three days of Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association action drew local contestants as well as those from as far away as Oregon. Johns provides a well-known, high caliber of stock, and several of his animals have competed at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. This means lower food costs for us and more land that can be preserved for the environment.

Gretchen and John met in high school, and after obtaining Marketing degrees from Stetson University, operated a successful beekeeping business together.
Gretchen now assists John with the day-to-day operations of the approximately head of cattle, and in addition manages her own herd of head, with a focus on Brangus bull production. In managing the cattle operation, John and Gretchen found it increasingly difficult to find bulls that could withstand the challenges inherent to South Florida, particularly the heat, summer rains and mosquitoes.
John suggested that Gretchen take on the challenge of raising bulls that would excel under those conditions, so in she bought heifers and a couple of cows from Dallas Wilson in Umatilla, and her Sabal Ridge herd was born. Gretchen studies International Brangus Breeders Association IBBA information on Expected Progeny Differences EPDs to select desired traits for her herd prior to purchasing semen used for artificial insemination, as well as rigorously selecting natural service bulls.
Birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling weight are just some of the genetic predictions important in raising beef cattle. After all, in a commercial operation, behavior and production in the pasture are what impacts the bottom line. An extra step that is taken to establish superior genetics within the herd is the use of ultrasound technology to determine EPD traits such as rib-eye area, fat thickness and intramuscular fat.
During this process, Gretchen and John enjoy hosting 4-Hers who are learning about beef cattle, and even invite them to bring their own cattle be ultrasounded. J-Seven and Sabal Ridge cattle are worked approximately three to four times a year to ensure that proper vaccinations, worming and other health concerns are addressed. The crew on the ranch has worked together for so many years that Gretchen says they are like an extended family. The cattle have been worked and trained over the years so that what used to take three weeks to accomplish is now typically completed in one week. Each year J-Seven Ranch, Inc.
Sabal Ridge has also purchased a sale steer from one of the 4-H members, and then donated the steer back for re-sale, with those proceeds also going into the scholarship fund. While many people market 14 tomonth old bulls, hers are typically 2-year olds which are stronger, better developed, and ready to work. Ruble had an interest in animals and working with the youth of Highlands County.
He worked tirelessly to make the website user friendly and encouraged 4-H leaders around the state of Florida to showcase their members in the Outstanding Member of the Month. He also personally designed the logo for the Heartlanders 4-H Dog Club. Gordon was constantly making dog jumps and down tables out of PVC pipe and love. Members from around the state could always depend on Mr. Ruble to post pictures and videos on the website www. Gordon was so committed to this project that he helped chair and coordinate the and Florida State 4-H Dog Conferences at Camp Cloverleaf. I, personally, have enjoyed being in your 4-H Club for the past five years.
You will be missed Mr. You believed in every one of us and our dogs. Thank you for your steady encouragement to the youth of Highlands County. The website contains a map and various other information including the planned pesticide applications, psyllid scouting reports and contact information. Each CHMA will have a local voluntary team leader with in its defined area.
Coordination meeting will be held jointly with all participants who want to attend to help in the planning stages. The team leader will then be the contact person for all growers in their area. It is important to note that this is a voluntary involvement. There is no regulation or mandate to participate.
Even if you decide to participate there is no requirement to follow the recommendations. If some growers in your area decide to spray and you do not agree it is the correct decision you are under no obligation or commitment to do so in your operation. You are not required to use any certain product, vendor or application method. This is simply a way to communicate among a local area of growers and attempt to make the best decisions for our industry.
There are several designated CHMAs. To find out if there is one in your area you can contact your local Extension Agent. They can put you in contact with your local management person. If there is not a CHMA in your area and you are interested in starting one your Extension Agent can help with that as well. We are at a crucial point in our industry. The decisions and actions we make today will define our future. Being involved in a CHMA can be one step to making sure we have an industry for the next generation. There are so many techniques growers are utilizing which are not traditional. One of the non-traditional methods gaining attention are coordinated spray programs.
Coordinated spray programs are proving to be extremely effective in controlling psyllid populations in large areas. These are groups of citrus growers in an area who have agreed to work together in the coordination and management of psyllid control. Coordinated control is of great importance to the vitality of the citrus industry. The coordination is of timing and mode of action MOA of the pesticide. The timing is important to maximize the effectiveness of sprays. If there is no pest presence it is a waste to spray.
On the other hand if an area is not sprayed within the life cycle time frame of a population, about two weeks for psyllids, they will simply continue to thrive. The results being only limited time periods of lower populations in a small area. If one grower sprays and his neighbor waits two or three weeks before spraying the pests are simply moving from one grove to another in between spray applications.
These little bugs are not concerned about property lines. The pesticide selection is the other essentially important part of the CHMA existence. This is the coordination of the MOA being used. The MOA is how a pesticide interacts with the targeted pest. By coordinating and rotating the MOA there is a much lower incidence of pest resistance to certain chemicals. If neighboring growers use different types of MOAs at one spray and then rotate on the next spray they are essentially working against one another.

As I stated last month, I intend to carry on my series in citrus, focusing upon the citrus species known as mandarin or tangerines. Some botanists separate the two groups and there may well be merit in this classification. I will not dwell upon this argument but shall attempt to share information that I hope will be as interesting to my readers as I find it to be. The name mandarin is applied to the loose skinned oranges classed under Citrus Nobilus.
Books as Dr. Matt
It was believed that the name was applied to this group because they were considered the best of the citrus fruit, in the same way that the Chinese mandarin was thought to be of the upper class of the Chinese population. It also may have only been available to the wealthy class in China and Japan. One other name, that of Kid Glove Orange, has been applied to this group here in Florida. The earliest mention of a citrus believed to be in this group was a reference to a Muscat Apple. This appeared in a book titled Steerbecks Citricultara by F.
Van Steerbeck published in Two varieties of mandarin oranges were brought into England from Canton, China by Sir Abraham Hume and fruit from these trees was pictured in the Royal Botanical Registry in and The Chinese mandarins were brought into Louisiana between to by the Italian Consul.
There were planted on the grounds of the Consulate at Algiers directly across the river from New Orleans The date of introduction of manda-. By Ron Lambert rins into cultivation in Florida presumably was sometime after the trees became established in Louisiana. I did find one reference to a letter written to E. An elderly woman wrote to Mr. Reasoner describing a tangerine tree at her families homestead near Palatka, Florida. She stated that the tree was fruiting there in the year There are no substantiations of this information.
From the onset of the culture of Mandarins, more attention has been given to their culture in Florida than in California. They require careful attention in their care to ensure production of fruit of the highest quality. They also come up in areas where cattle were penned.

We will include a picture that appeared in the February issue of the wild Dancy tangerine on our property. I am just old enough to recall that almost all citrus groves had some tangerine interplanted in their midst in the s. These were removed in the late s. I will list several varieties that were at one time grown commercially in various parts of Florida. They include a variety known as Beauty of Glen Retreat. It originated near Brisbane, Australia in It did not remain in cultivation for many years in Florida.
A variety known as China or China Celestial is believed to be the original introduction from Italy to Louisiana. It was introduced to Florida by Major Atway in The variety known as Cleopatra was grown more as a rootstock known as Cleo. The fruit was quite small and had little commercial impact. Reasoner stated that it was introduced from Jamaica by a Colonel Codrington.
There it was known as the Spice Tangerine. The Dancy Tangerine in my mind was, is and will always be the finest kid glove tangerine that I have tasted. It has a beautiful deep orange color peeling very easily with the sections remaining intact. The variety originated at Buena Vista in St. It was a very rough skinned fruit with high oil content in the peel.
The tree would set a heavy crop of fruit and frequently caused breakage of the main branches of the tree. It has disappeared from commercial production here. There are several other varieties described in my books but I feel that they were insignificant. The next and perhaps most important group of tangerines have to be the Satsuma. The Satsuma is the most cold tolerant type of Orange producing edible fruit. I have had the opportunity to visit a citrus grove near Bell Chase, Louisiana owned by a man named Saxon Becknell.
His family has grown citrus there for five generations. This is a small primarily local market. The fruit is of exceptional quality and flavor due to the cooler temperatures during the maturing of the fruit. This nursery was established in I have visited there and found it to be a very beautiful site with beautiful homes located on the grounds. The factors which bring the Glen St. Mary Nursery Company to importance in citrus was the fact that they owned what. It was located in Polk County near Lake Garfield.

G L Taber is pictured here in a tree of Owari Satsuma. The last variety of mandarin mentioned is actually believed to be a hybrid of unknown parentage. It is a cross between a sweet orange and a mandarin. The original tree was a budded tree on the Temple homestead near Winter Park. It is named for William Chase Temple a pioneer in the advancement of the Citrus industry. It was introduced by Buckeye nurseries of Tampa, Florida in It was widely planted in Hillsborough County and the community known today as Temple Terrace is named after it.
Over the years the Citrus fruits of all types have influenced much here in Florida. There is a town named Satsuma, one named Tangerine. A group of hybrid citrus named Tangelo arose from a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. These selections were all named after towns or counties in Florida. I will provide more details on the Tangelo next month. The large old wooden packing houses are all but gone from Florida.
Many people found employment in the business of harvesting and packing tangerines and other citrus fruit for the holiday markets from Thanksgiving through Christmas. This continued through the harvest season into late spring early summer.

Keep in mind that frozen concentrate orange juice was not developed until In the years prior to the development of Frozen Concentrate Orange Juice attempts to can orange juice had been very disappointing and not at all palatable. For this reason fruit was either consumed as fresh fruit or squeezed by the housewife. Development of frozen concentrate orange juice led to very significant changes in the entire industry.
By the way, how many of you know that once, early in the s, a frozen concentrate tangerine juice was made and sold? I am told it was delicious. I realize that the information presented here actually only skims the surface of the whole story. I have tried to make any story factual enough to be interesting to you readers. In closing I will state that for anyone reading this that would like additional information on any part that I have written, I can be contacted by email at buckhornnursery hotmail. Carl Perry has lived in Glades County his whole life.
He is a third generation farmer and lives and works on a farm that his father owned. His grandfather was a dairy farmer in Miami in the 40s when Miami was predominately farm land. His dad moved to Glades County in the 60s and bought land to start his own dairy.
He ventured from dairy into the beef cattle industry, growing and selling hay, and eventually growing sugar cane. Carl took over the sugar cane farm from his dad in The business has now grown into sugar cane, green beans, bell peppers, corn and watermelons, as well as a custom fertilizing and spraying business. He also owns citrus with his brothers in Highlands County. Carl and his wife Ronda built a home on the farm near his mothers home.
They wanted their children, Ashley 23, Amy 15 and Ross 10, to grow up on the farm. The farm is not just a business, it is their way of life. The children are just as involved in the farm as Carl and Ronda are on a day-to-day basis. Carl is also very community minded. He has served on the Glades County Youth livestock as a director and past president. He was a member of the Young Farmer and Ranchers and both Carl and Ronda are graduates of the young leadership program.
His entire family will always be there to help us. All three of their children have been members of the 4-H livestock clubs. They play sports such as softball and baseball and their daughter has been a cheerleader for two years. They are members of the Moore Haven Christian Church and have been for the past 13 years. Carl is on the Board of Directors.

In a separate bowl mix equal parts of sour cream and mayonnaise approximately ounces of each and a ranch seasoning packet. Fold mixture into potatoes. Bake at for minutes. Save some cheese and bacon pieces - enough for a thin layer on top of the potatoes and garnish with a light sprinkle of ranch seasoning!
There are several ways you can help to promote agriculture within our community. Literacy day is April Literacy Day is an opportunity to read to young children in their classrooms a story about Florida agriculture. An Ag-Venture or Ag-Fest program is a good opportunity to interact with students and teachers in a setting where they can learn about your specific operation.
Help with setting up, cleaning up and meal preparations are necessary, too. The Young Farmers and Ranchers program is beginning to show life and we need young people between the ages of 18 and 35 to step up and become the next generation of leaders. The more they hear from us the more influence we have in controlling our own destiny vs. Traveling to Washington D.
There are many issues facing us today not the least of which include many onerous and burdensome rules coming from the Environmental Protection Agency. These are some simple tips that can fit into our schedules in order to help keep agriculture a viable industry for many years. The oldest shed builder in Florida with over 32 years experience. Cattlemen, dairymen and farmers are continuing to evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge that could encompass up to , acres of land in the Kissimmee Basin between Lake Okeechobee and Orlando.
Officials with USFWS say they are in a scoping process to evaluate locations and to garner public input. Thus far they have held four public meetings in the region and have received mixed results from the general public. Much of the sentiment is against Federal Government purchasing additional land in Florida and general concerns over the Federal debt. Farmers and ranchers want to look at all potential revenue streams that may be available to them but are concerned with the stigmatism associated with having the Refuge located on or adjoining their property.
They note that other government agencies could look at the property differently and attempt to put additional protective measures on them that would devalue or limit economic activity including farming or ranching. USFWS is expected to come out with an alternatives document by June and will seek additional public input at that time. If the process continues forward, USFWS will be seeking funding approval from Washington by late summer or early fall.
Seeing movement this fast from the Federal Government after watching the Comprehensive Everglades Protection Plan CERP move at the pace of a snail for the last ten years is a bit bewildering. Jerry Montgomery announced his resignation from the Governing Board at their meeting on March Montgomery is stepping down to accept a corporate position in south Florida. This now leaves five of the nine Governing Board seats that need. What follows is a summary of the open seats on the Governing Board: A replacement for this seat must reside in Broward County.
Buermann chose not to remain on the board until a replacement was selected. He is seeking reappointment, though there are other applicants for the seat. Dauray is not reappointed, a replacement for this seat must reside in Collier, Lee, Hendry or Charlotte County. With the amount of work ahead for the Governing Board with the reduced financial inflows and additional operational constraints by various judicial orders, it is imperative that the Governor make these decisions soon rather than later. The Governing Board accepted staff recommendation to impose Phase 1 water restrictions on the L-8 Basin located in northeastern portion of the Everglades Agricultural Area east of Lake Okeechobee.
Phase 1 restrictions impose a 15 percent cutback in allotted water supplies to the basin. The action is being taken to extend water supplies to agricultural and municipal users within the basin. The L-8 Basin is the first but certainly not the last area that will have water restrictions imposed this season with falling water levels in Lake Okeechobee.
The current level, In this band, the Executive Director, with authority from Governing Board, may impose water restrictions on the Lake Okeechobee Service Area, which encompasses a large swath of agriculture around and south of Lake Okeechobee. This recommendation shall be provided to the U. Army Corps of Engineers as set forth in the Adaptive Protocols. South Florida received several rainfall events from December through Mid-February, which supplemented surface water levels.
Since that time, levels have been dropping precipitously and large area wide water restrictions will be forthcoming. Even with the winter rain events, it is interesting to note that South Florida has only received 46 percent of average rainfall for this time period, which equates to a deficient not seen in 80 years. Farmers throughout the region are using all conservation measures available to them and although cutbacks have not been ordered by the District, excessive evapotranspiration rates are stressing growth of the crops and pastures.
Agricultural interests were vocal and abundant at the March Governing Board meeting due to current actions by the U. The protocols dictate operation of the lake when the level falls within the Beneficial Use Band. ACOE was an active member in this debate and there are several Corps documents that note their acceptance and compliance to the Adaptive Protocols. In response to concern over the ACOE backing off of their previous statements to follow the Adaptive Protocol process, the Governing Board passed the following resolution after hearing comments from agriculture: Congressman Bill Posey is inviting farmers and ranchers in District 15 to attend an Agricultural Summit so that he might learn about the needs and agricultural issues that are important to the agricultural community.
He asks that farmers and ranchers come prepared to listen and speak out on issues that are affecting how you conduct business. The Summit will be held on April 27th from 3: If you do not wish to receive this report in the future or are receiving multiple copies, please contact me charles. By Sandy Kaster, M. Size, shape, starch content, flavor, and color differ among varieties. The main potato season in Florida is January through June, so get fresh Florida potatoes at their peak season now.
Approximately half of the statewide production is processed into potato chips. Nationwide, 70 percent of all potatoes are processed into chips, French fries and dehydrated potato flakes. As root vegetables, potatoes are jam-packed with a wide variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals such as carotenoids and polyphenols. Potatoes are considered a very good source of vitamin C, a good source of vitamin B6, copper, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber.
They also contain iron, niacin, magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, phosphorus, and folic acid. One cup of baked potato provides almost 12 percent of the daily requirements for fiber. Fiber has many beneficial functions, including lowering cholesterol, preventing colon cancer, and improving bowel regularity. Potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, including fiber and resistant starch. Resistant starch is a type of fiber, along with soluble and insoluble types, and has beneficial physiological actions in the body.
Resistant to digestion in the stomach and small intestine, it reaches the large intestine intact. It improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, increases satiety, and provides bulk. In the bowel, resistant starch also supports the growth of healthy bacteria and inhibits the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. The amount of resistant starch can be maximized by cooking and then cooling the potatoes before consuming, such as in potato salad.
One cup of baked potato contains 21 percent of the daily requirement for vitamin B6.
