Florida A&M University decided to copy the Kentucky State University Third Thursday Thing sustainable agriculture monthly workshops at their new 3,800 acre Agriculture Environment Research Station in Brooksville, FL.  At the conclusion of it's first year of operation, the only records of the farm's research, outreach and Extension activities were the success stories and records related to their Third Thursday Thing educational programs.  Florida A&M University Extension Specialists are very pleased with the success of their Third Thursday Program.  They are now using these activities to also train the participants in their USDA beginning farmers and ranchers project in addition to their other farmers and ranchers..
