                                        Florida has a deep history in agriculture and next week’s guest on Ag Talk - Your Story Matters comes from a family with strong roots in Florida agriculture.
Amanda Perry Carl is a distinguished agricultural lawyer and compliance consultant with deep roots in Florida, where her family has cultivated a legacy since 1823. A proud native of the Sunshine State, Amanda blends her extensive expertise with a profound understanding of the agricultural sector, advocating for the industry that she loves.
Amanda grew up in the rural community of Pedro, Florida, which was settled by her family in 1823. It was there in Pedro that Amanda developed her passion for the agricultural industry at a very young age. Amanda’s family raised beef cattle and grew various crops over the years. In fact, before she even started school, Amanda already had her own herd of cattle and was growing, marketing, and selling her own watermelon crops. Through her early agricultural pursuits, Amanda learned first-hand the struggles faced by those in the industry, and she made it her mission to always work and advocate for agriculture.
Amanda earned her B.S in Agricultural Education from the University of Florida, with a minor in Agricultural Law. She then earned her Juris Doctorate in 2006–graduating number 3 in her class! With a lifetime of experience in the agricultural industry and two Gator degrees under her belt, Amanda moved into noteworthy positions that have shaped her career.
Amanda currently lives on the St. Johns River in Osteen, Florida with her husband, and 5 boys that they adopted in 2019, as well as a 115-pound black lab named Louise.
With a genuine passion for agriculture, Amanda continues to advocate for the industry, ensuring that the agricultural heritage of Florida, and the entire country, thrives for generations to come.
