Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously implored us all to "Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character." Given the chance to speak with Dr. King, Lawrence Silas no doubt would've told him that's exactly how it was in Florida's cow country during the days of open range grazing, and arguably remains so to this day.  Tune in for this week's episode profiling Mr. Silas and two other extraordinary black cowboys who were respected and admired by their peers.

Sometimes the answer to your biggest problem is in fact the problem itself. In this episode, we discuss a new pilot project in Glades County involving AguaCulture and my family's Lazy JP Ranch. This pilot project sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission along with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, co-sponsored by the South Florida Water Management District, and funded through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection seeks to employee a radically improved system for mechanical harvesting of invasive aquatic vegetation, converting it into an organic resource that leads to the removal of nutrients from our state's water bodies. No one method of control will solve the challenge ahead of us, but this new approach has the potential to be a very powerful weapon in the arsenal.
