What if crops could warn us before drought damage begins? 🌱

@ufhorticulture, @USDA & @NASA can now detect plant stress days before it’s visible on Earth and maybe even future long-duration space missions.

Dunedin was settled by Scots. The high school always had a Highlander band and bagpipes were a fixture. Would be a fitting stop.

Zac Brown isn’t apologizing for performing at Sunday’s UFC event at the White House 👏🇺🇸

“I’m there for the troops, man. I’m there to honor America. This is patriotism, not politics for me. I mean, fuck all the division. I don’t believe in that. I love this country. I love all the people that have sacrificed so that I can live my American dream and that everyone that lives here gets a chance to do that if they work hard and make the right decisions. So it doesn’t have a place in politics for me.”

On June 11, 1953, the Florida State Legislature designated the Sabal Palm as the State Tree. Sabal Palms have provided Floridians with building materials, ingredients for food, and goods to create furniture, clothing, pocketbooks, and other everyday items. In 1970, the Legislature amended the state seal to include the Sabal Palm. To learn more about our State Tree, check out this link: https://t.co/23tAMsvmKU

Tampa Bay has always been a great baseball area — from the days of Ruth and Gehrig in spring training to the legends who hail from Tampa like Boggs, McGriff, etc.

The Rays can have a strong future in Tampa Bay. Just need the right formula.

This is what life looked like in Florida in the 1800s.

At the Panhandle Pioneer Settlement, historic buildings have been preserved to show how early Florida settlers lived, worked, and built their communities.

From log cabins to a working blacksmith shop, come experience historic Florida. @America250FL
