Rural Recharge Podcast Launches

Florida Farm Bureau Federation has launched a new monthly podcast, Rural Recharge. The podcast is hosted by Florida Farm Bureau President Jeb S. Smith and is intended to provide listeners genuine conversations on real issues faced by the farmers and ranchers who are growing what we eat, wear and use every day.

The first podcast features guest Wilton Simpson, Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture.  Simpson and Smith discuss key agricultural issues including urbanization, sustainability, education and food security.

Florida Farm Bureau invites listeners to tune in each month to meet Florida’s farm families and learn about the different issues impacting rural communities.

The podcast is available to stream on Apple PodcastSpotify, iHeartRadio, Google and on Florida Farm Bureau’s website.
