Media ArticleThe United States Department of Agriculture has appointed Robbie Bell of Fort Meade to serve on the Florida Farm Service Agency state committee. The appointment is made by Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins, who selects members to help guide and oversee important agricultural programs.
The Florida Farm Service Agency state committee plays a key role in supporting farmers, ranchers, and producers across the state. Committee members help oversee farm programs, guide county committee operations, and review appeals related to program delivery. The group also works to maintain strong relationships with agriculture industry partners and keeps producers informed about available Farm Service Agency programs and services.
Robbie Bell brings more than 40 years of experience in agriculture to the committee. He is a second-generation commercial beekeeper with a deep knowledge of apiculture and farming. Bell produces natural orange blossom honey and provides crop pollination services to farms across the country. His work supports food production by helping crops grow through reliable pollination practices.
Bell also has experience serving agriculture at the local level. He has completed several terms on his local Farm Service Agency County committee. This background gives him direct knowledge of how farm programs operate at the community level and how producers use USDA services. His experience is expected to support fair decision making and clear communication between farmers and USDA offices.
The appointment reflects the USDA’s goal of including experienced producers in leadership roles. By selecting individuals with real-world farming and business knowledge, the agency aims to improve program delivery and strengthen trust with the agriculture community.
With his long career in beekeeping and service on local committees, Robbie Bell is well positioned to contribute to the Florida Farm Service Agency state committee. His role will support farmers, promote cooperation across agriculture sectors, and help ensure USDA programs continue to serve producers effectively.
