well we had a good time in florida. we flew in to orlando on thursday and spent the afternoon and evening with maggies family. friday morning we drove to the atlantic side. we did kennedy space center and cocoa beach and then went up to daytona for the evening to check out the start of bike week. saturday morning we drove south down to sebring and then back up to orlando(back roads the whole way) to check out the countryside. the wedding was saturday evening and we flew back home on sunday. i did see a good number of farms. saw alot of cattle and horses. saw alot of massey dealerships and a handfull of deere dealers, nothing else. as far as equipment working i saw all colors but only saw massey tractors, nothing else. i'm not very good at having my camera ready so i didn't get hardly any pictures. we walked all through the space center and when we left we were like oh crap! we didn't take any pictures! oh well, next time.

Casey,

Glad you enjoyed the trip. Your "back roads" trip is really the best way to see the farm and grove country. I moved here in 1977, and was amazed to find out how much agriculture there is here. It was only about 10 or 15 years ago that tourism took over the No. 1 spot for income in the state...agriculture was first forever until then, I guess.

Again some 15 years ago or so, I read some statistics that showed Florida, Texas and California as the top three states for cattle population. The three states seemed to swap places from time to time, and I don't know where we stand now.

Hows that again? Florida sometimes produces more cattle than Texas? Might want to check on that one.

If you'll read my prior post, you'll see that I was talking about 15 years ago or so. Sorry I'm not as up-to-date as you are.

I guess this is the penalty I pay for being the first responder to a post.
