Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson is hosting another “Farm to Fuel” summit July 18-20 at the Marriot Renaissance Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg.

The meeting will cover current initiatives relating to ethanol and bio-diesel, as well as other opportunities for renewable energy production in Florida.

Last August in Orlando, Bronson hosted the first ever Florida “Farm to Fuel” summit, which attracted more than 300 participants, and the Commissioner believes that this year’s conference will be bigger and better.
