Tuesday morning, the North Florida Research and Education Center welcomed producers, landowners, agricultural professionals, and students to its 2026 Beef and Forage Field Day just outside Marianna. Held every 18 months, the event is designed to bring the agricultural community together for a full day of practical learning, hands-on demonstrations, and expert insight aimed at improving beef cattle and forage management.

The halls of Union Grove School may have long fallen silent, but the legacy of its students, teachers, and community remains strong.

The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences (IFAS) hosted local farmers at their Jackson County Research and Education Center last Thursday.
