The University of Florida IFAS Extension and Team Santa Rosa will host the 2010 Gulf Coast Agribusiness Conference on Thursday, February 18, 2010, in Chumuckla.

Family farms are continually facing new challenges in today’s economy. To address these concerns, speakers from the Southeast region will provide our area farmers with ideas for new crops and business models. A trade show will be held at the conference, with space for vendor booths and equipment displays.

The target audience for this conference is producers of all types of crops in the Western Panhandle of Florida and Baldwin and Escambia Counties in Alabama. It will also serve as an informational seminar for prospective new farmers. Conference topics include “New Crops and Growing Methods,” “Estate Planning,” “Marketing Options: Most Successful Marketing Tools,” and “Greenhouse Demonstration”.
