Florida Agriculture in the Classroom and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services have jointly developed the second in a series of books entitled "Drive through Florida: Vegetables." This 2016 Florida Agriculture Literacy Day book will feature 11 top vegetable commodities in a non-fiction format. Students will learn about growing regions, availability, common uses and nutritional attributes of each commodity as volunteers read the book in classrooms throughout Florida. This presentation will provide books for attendees to use in their educational settings and resources which will allow them to compare Florida vegetable commodities to those in their own state.
