Pasture Mealybug - Update

Pasture mealybug is an insect that feeds on multiple grasses- including our pastures, in turn damaging forages and causing severe die back and overall stand losses in many Florida pastures.

Kenneth Davis: Lifetime with Horses Continues

BY CYNTHIA MCFARLAND


A hard-scrabble beginning couldn't derail Kenneth Davis' future. He didn't have family background in the industry and knew nothing about horses, but Thoroughbreds became his life's work and he has made the most of the journey.
