Yesterday, we celebrated 100 years of @UFGulfCoastREC and broke ground on our new AI Research Center! A historic milestone marking a century of innovation — and the beginning of our next chapter in advanced research and technology. #GCREC100 #AIinAg #FloridaAg #UFResearch

Today's the day at @UFGulfCoastREC! We're celebrating 100 years of agricultural #research and #Extension! @UF_IFAS

@UF @UFGulfCoastREC Proclamations! Christine Miller from @HillsboroughFL, @RepKatCammack @JenniferCanady_ present the honors.

As part of the 100th anniversary celebration of @ufgulfcoastrec, Mark Porter and @UFPlantbreeding @@ufhorticulture prof. Vance Whitaker talk about the strawberry breeding program. Using genetics, scientists develop berries that are tasty and resist diseases well.

Now that we've broken ground on the #AIatUF center @UFGulfCoastREC, it's time to talk tech. Exciting opportunities to learn how @UF_IFAS can feed the world! @uf_abe, @UFPlantbreeding, @UFEntNem, @PrecAgSWFREC

Welcome to the 100th anniversary of the @UFGulfCoastREC, where we will break ground on a new #AIatUF center. Center Director Jack Rechcigl opens the activities. It's a momentous day for @uf. @IFAS_Extension.

.@UF_MCS scientists working with our Crop Transformation Center have developed a plant they're calling NuCitrus that tolerates disease attacks and produces high-quality fruit despite high HLB pressure in field trials. More on this exciting development for the citrus industry:

A new era of agricultural innovation is taking root in @HillsboroughFL. November 7 @UFGulfCoastREC is breaking ground on a 40,000-sq-ft hub to develop robotics, pest-resistant crops & smart tools that help farmers grow more with less. More on the center and how to join the

Across the Sunshine State, some Floridians are eyeing roadsides as potential havens for pollinators. But there’s a catch – while many residents are fond of pollinators, a new @UFAEC-@FloridaMuseum study ( https://t.co/Irp7yQGK4x) shows that enthusiasm doesn’t always translate to

National Plant Diagnostic Network's seal of approval confirms that Florida farmers can expect "gold star quality" results from @UFPlantPath scientists. More on this history-making accreditation ➡️ https://t.co/fx4NNfYqxB

Join us in congratulating Nelly Nelson! @APLU_News has recognized her transformative community Extension work by awarding her one of the highest honors in Extension. More on what earned her this honor ➡️ https://t.co/X0NfW5tYTf

Teachers from almost every county in Florida will make the evolution of ranching come alive this November, thanks to our Extension agents, the best-selling historical novel A Land Remembered and the Great Florida Cattle Drive! More on this amazing #AgEducation effort happening

Tractors are one of the most important, and most dangerous tools, on the farm. A new video series from UF/IFAS Communications, in collaboration with @UF_ABE, is helping farmers reduce risks with practical safety tips. 🚜 Learn more in our latest story here

A @USDA_ARS program using AI and high-powered computing to breed stronger, healthier crops now calls @UF home 🌱 Find out what this means for Florida farmers and the future of food here 🔗 https://t.co/8aoElwKJyn

Stacy Strickland, ag agent for @uf_ifas Extension Hernado County, tells @CitrusSchools students about using drones for agriculture. Precision ag is the future. @JimEDavis1

Today's farmers spend a lot more time at a laptop. Not as much on a tractor, says @JJGrowFL as he urges students to pursue all aspects of agriculture. Hundreds of @CitrusSchools students @CFedu today to learn about careers in ag.

"Agriculture is not just about cows and plows." @JJGrowFL kicks off the event for @WiltonSimpson as students prepare to explore #agtech, business, and science careers to support the industry.

With Florida’s citrus industry struggling, some growers are turning to clumping bamboo as an alternative crop. Unlike invasive running types, clumping bamboo grows well on existing grove land and feeds into a global market valued at nearly $67 billion, with uses ranging from food

.@UF_ABE researchers at @UFGulfCoastREC are training #AI to recognize runners from the ground and sky, to pave the way for machines that could save growers time, labor, and costs More on this #AIatUF research 🔗 https://t.co/wcgyYh1auP

Greg Kiker, a UF alum and 20-year faculty member, has been named chair of the @UF_ABE after serving as interim chair. With a career that includes more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, international work, and leadership roles, he has helped position ABE among the nation’s
