This map separates the published event format from our practice tools so students know what is official, what changed this season, and where to train each part.
Florida FFA's 2026–27 revision summary specifies an updated version of the Florida Citrus Production Guide. The site treats the Florida FFA resource folder and newest posted guide as the season authority instead of freezing practice to an older edition.
