Newest Florida Blueberry and Colorado Animal-Cruelty Initiative
Monday Apr 19th, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. April is a sure sign of spring in the Sunshine State and the best time to find ripe Florida blueberries.
Patricio Muñoz, University of Florida assistant professor, developed Florida’s newest blueberry variety called the “sentinel,” in honor of Florida blueberry pioneer Alto Straughn.
Muñoz tells www.floridafarmbureau.org the sentinel provides farmers a new opportunity to produce during the best market window and the sweet berry ranked high in University taste tests.
