Would like contact with Florida Farmers
 

Hello!

I'm at 2:00 position on Lake Okeechobee and would like to have contact with other Florida banana farmers to compare notes and share info.
Blessings,

My farm is at the 3:00 position on Lake Okeechobee what do you want to know.

I would just like to network, get to know some other banana farmers, compare notes and procedures - should be of benefit to everyone.

I'm due west of West Palm Beach...interestingly I haven't been by there in a while but at the bottom of lake-o on route 80 there is a large banana farm owned by an old cuban guy. I always buy apple bananas from him driving through...

It's still there. There is also a pretty good sized planting on D road in Loxahatchee

That's good to hear the guy is still there...I've been by the farm on D road, there was a huge dragon fruit farm nextdoor...Alot of fruit on the banana plants but seemed mostly a single cultivar.

What do you consider a farmer?
I live in Jupiter.

No criteria - I ain't gonna judge or classify anyone here - but, to me, a farmer would be someone who grows things to provide himself with a profit in some way, rather than a direct hand-to-mouth gardener.
I guess the reason that I asked for farmers in specific is because I would have more in common with them, considering the economic aspects of larger scale growing as opposed to a couple of plants in a bucket.

Hey, if you're a gardener, I'd still go fishin' with ya!
