Stops included the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Balm, Florida; G&D Farms, a Wish Farms operation in Duette, Florida, where the CROO Robotics Harvester was showcased; and Fancy Farms in Springhead, Florida, operated by Florida strawberry legend Carl Grooms and his son, Dustin.
