Palm Beach County was once covered with large cattle pastures, vegetable farms and orange groves.  Today, it is mostly developed with the exception of the Belle Glade Area. The Farming and Agriculture climate has changed.  Smaller farms are now the norm with most cattlemen owning under fifty head of cattle.

As the farming climate has changed so has the needs of the cattlemen.  Finding pasture land and feed is becoming more difficult. 

Obtaining an agriculture exemption on property used for raising livestock is becoming more difficult.

Above are some of the issues the Palm Beach County Cattlemen's Association is addressing.
