Agronomic Crops

In Florida, nematicides are the most viable nematode management option because many growers only produce monoculture cotton and the low prices of other agronomic crops in the state make crop rotation expensive. The two primary nematicides used and recommended in Florida are Telone II and Temik 15G (Kinloch and Rich, 2000). This is EDIS document FE 318, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and sorghum-sudangrass (S. bicolor x S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf) are often used in crop rotation systems in Florida. Not only do they produce a source of forage or silage for animal feed, but many cultivars are effective in reducing population levels of root-knot nematodes, which are key nematode pests in Florida as well as many other parts of the world. Sorghum-sudangrass (S. bicolor x S. sudanense), also known as sorghum x sudangrass, sudax, or sudex, is a hybrid between sorghum (S. bicolor) and sudangrass (S. sudanense). Specific cultivars of either sorghum, sudangrass, or sudex provide a potential for nematode management, with the hybrid having more advantages over either one of its parents. This document is ENY-716, one of a series of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The 2003 outlook for agronomic crops has been highlighted by changes resulting from the 2002 U.S. Farm Bill: smaller supplies and increased prices. Also, many changes have been implemented in commodity programs. This is EDIS document FE372, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

State Laws

The laws of local governments are called ordinances. These local laws have the authority of the state behind them and you can be prosecuted for violating them, much the same as state laws. Local governments have procedural protections similar to those of the state, but these may vary among the local governments. The legislature can also affect local policy and issues through the passage of special laws that apply only to a certain locale. This is EDIS document FE456, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

The majority of Floridas state agencies have similar structures. Most agencies maintain their headquarters in Tallahassee and have regional offices throughout the state. Within each agency, there are various divisions, each with its own set of duties. Examples of such divisions include administration, permitting, enforcement, and public information. Within each division is a structure of even greater specificity—the bureau. These handle many of the divisional duties at a more local level.

Over 99% of Florida's interstate produce and ornamentals shipments are by truck. As such, it is important to Florida agriculture that these carriers be financially viable. At the same time, shipper/receivers are interested in paying the least cost possible for haulage. They are also interested in having reliable motor carrier service, which is only possible if freight rates are sufficient to cover costs. In this report, the adequacy of freight rates paid for produce and ornamentals movements out of Florida and freight rates received for complementary haulage into the state will be examined. Data come from a 2001/2002 survey of over 1,600 drivers of semis as they exited the Florida Peninsula (Appendix; Beilock, 2004).  This is EDIS document, FE541, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Reliable Transport

In 1939, the U.S. Federal Government established regulations limiting the number of hours that truck drivers could drive and be on duty. These are known as Hours of Service Regulations (HOSR). In response to concerns about fatigue-related accidents, the U.S. Congress mandated studies in 1995 to determine how HOSR could be improved. Eight years, many millions of dollars, and over 53,000 public comments later the revised HOSR came into effect on January 4, 2004. Over 99% of all Florida produce and ornamentals shipped outside of the state are delivered by truck. Rapid and reliable transport for these highly valued perishables is essential. In this paper, the revised HOSR is described and some assessments are made of its effect on trucking. This is EDIS document, FE542, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Cotton Pest

Four species of "cotton stainers," also known as "red bugs," are known from Florida. However, the most important of these is the cotton stainer, Dysdercus suturellus (Herrich- Schaeffer). Morrill (1910) stated the cotton stainer was the most destructive cotton pest in Florida. Currently, the cotton stainer is a minor pest of cotton, and then only in the southern part of the state (Sprenkel 2000). This document is EENY-330 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 48), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
