Hey all, my Facebook account has been hacked so you may have been seeing weird things like me selling my deceased uncle's stuff, buying a house, getting crypto certified - that is all the hacker, I have lost control of my old account, IM for my new one

I am humbled and honored to have been part of this Immokalee tradition.

Last night, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced a USDA disaster declaration that supports Florida's agricultural producers impacted by historic freezes. I appreciate President Donald Trump and Secretary Rollins for always putting America's farmers first, and for quickly issuing this official disaster declaration. Beyond the desperately needed federal support and financing that this declaration will now make available, it is also an acknowledgement of the incredible hardship and loss that Florida's growers experienced from the historic freezes. This was one of the most damaging freeze events in Florida agriculture's history, with our preliminary estimates totaling over $3 billion in agricultural losses. Florida agriculture now needs equally historic support. A strong and vibrant domestic food supply is critical to our national security and sovereignty, and Florida’s farmers feed America, especially during the winter. I look forward to working with the USDA to connect our impacted producers with these newly released recovery resources, and any additional federal support that becomes available in the future.

What happened to this guy?

A child in Madarounfa, Niger, West Africa outside my house circa 1974, ps they were the only clothes he owned and the stick and the can on the bottom left were his toys. I lived there for two years.

The P&T Chair saw his shadow, so if your up for tenure this year that’s six more years as an assistant professor.
