Make plans to join us for the 2023 JRA Round-Up to be held July 10-15 in central Florida. Members will experience local agriculture, participate in team-building exercises and explore the white sands of a Florida beach!
Save the dates of July 10-15 and start making plans! The five days in central Florida will be jam-packed with both education and fun! Site visits will highlight the key commodities of the region’s agriculture as well as industry partners that assist in advancing agriculture. You’ll visit one of the largest commercial cattle operations in the United States, see citrus orchards and packing houses, visit an award-winning dairy operation, tour the oldest family-owned premium cigar 1
maker factory in America, explore the university lab for tropical aquaculture and spend some time exploring the beach! Team challenges and individual contests will showcase participants’ knowledge of cattle production and evaluation. The JRA annual meeting provides an opportunity to guide continuous improvement for the organization and elect the 2023-2024 board of directors. And, the entire experience is a chance to create friendships and memories of a lifetime.
