It’s a beautiful day in Gettysburg! Leadership on the battlefield!

Last week, I spoke with Florida farmers and agricultural leaders with Wedgworth Leadership Institute about how we can support our growers and ensure they have every opportunity to succeed in the Sunshine State.

A sign of intellect is the ability to change your mind in the face of new facts. A mark of wisdom is refusing to let the fear of admitting you were wrong stop you from getting it right. The joy of learning something new eventually exceeds the pain of unlearning something old.

Well deserved!! Megan Cantrell

Honored to work with this program! Thanks UF/IFAS and the entire Florida agricultural and natural resource industry for your steadfast support!

At the root of our polarization problem is a deficit of intellectual humility. Too many people refuse to admit that they might be wrong. Diversity of thought opens minds. Intensity of conviction closes them. Knowing your knowledge is incomplete is a prerequisite for learning.

Always great to be ⁦Wedgworth Leadership Institute⁩ with such an outstanding group of #leaders from across the great state of #Florida !

Always great to see my friend Jeff McCausland !

Thanks Diamond6 and Jeff McCausland for a great day!

I had the pleasure of showing the group from the International Association of Programs for Agricultural Leadership around the Senate of Canada Building in #Ottawa this morning during the #IAPAL meetings being held in Canada's capital. Thank you for joining me in the Red Chamber!
