Agriculture

The Agricultural Center is an information and teaching center. We provide the best management practices for raising crops and livestock. Our goals are to help the University of Florida and its research centers to understand the needs of the farm community. We want to work with the farmers and residents of St Johns County to preserve our natural resources.
