Our Speaker Today:
Mark Fagan "Threats to the Avocado Industry"
Mr. Fagan is the Public Information Officer from the State Agricultural Department. He has spoken with Rotarians from California, Florida, and all over the U.S. and has had wonderful experiences. He thanked all Rotarians Internationally that are working on the efforts to eradicate polio. Mr. Fagan was raised in North Miami, went to Miami-Dade Community College before graduating from FSU. He studied Hospitality Management and opened a grill in Reno, Nevada. Then he went into Broadcasting and eventually ended up at the government as a Public Information Officer.
There are several projects that he has worked on and is currently working on in South Florida, including the Citrus Canker, Mediterranean Fly outbreaks, and the Red Bay Ambrosia Beetle. Agriculture is a very important part of Florida's economy. We produce 90% of winter citrus. The Red Bay Ambrosia Beetle is a carrier of Laurel Wilt, and is a threat to Florida's avocado crop. They are currently working on ways to prevent the spread of Laurel Wilt. Laurel Wilt is categorized by wilted leaves that will not fall off the tree. If you see signs of this please call 1-800-397-1517.
