The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) and AgNet Media produce a monthly podcast called All In For Citrus. It features timely information useful to growers provided by UF/IFAS researchers and Extension agents.
The podcast started in September 2018 and has steadily grown an audience. Episodes run from 30 to 45 minutes and regularly feature Michael Rogers, director of the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center (CREC), and two additional guests. The podcast is a great and easy way to keep up with the latest research and applied techniques.
There are multiple ways to listen to the current and past episodes. A new episode is normally released and published online the third week of the month. It appears on AgNet Media’s Citrus Industry website along with an archive of all the episodes. It is also available on the UF/IFAS CREC Facebook page.
