Purpose: FARAD, a critical food safety program, is an integrated extension and applied research program that provides required scientifically valid information on how to avoid drug, environmental and pesticide contaminant residues in food animals.  No other federal or private entity duplicates FARAD.  The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act (AMDUCA) authorizes veterinarians to prescribe antimicrobials in an extra-label manner to treat conditions for which there are no effective approved antimicrobials. AMDUCA requires an extended withdrawal period for antimicrobials used in an extra-label manner. FARAD provides the scientific basis for determining the appropriate withdrawal period. Also, FARAD is used when environmental contaminants are introduced into food animals.

Title: Laurel Wilt Pathogen - Redbay Ambrosia Beetle Threat to the U.S. Avocado Industry
Amount: $1,303,920 
Purpose: A new disease in the southeastern US, laurel wilt, kills avocado and other plants in the avocado family.  Laurel wilt has spread rapidly along the eastern seaboard, and is now 100 miles to the north of the main avocado production area of Florida.  UF-IFAS research has established that a new fungus, Raffaelea lauricola, causes the disease ant that the redbay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus, is attracted to and vectors the pathogen to avocado.  Potentially some variation in resistance to the disease exists in extant avocado germplasm.  However, very significant gaps exist in what is known about this pathosystem and how the disease and insect might be managed once it arrives in commercial avocado production areas.  There is an urgent need for additional research funds to develop short- and long-term solutions to this problem.

Title: Law Enforcement Technology
Amount: $750,000
Purpose: The Department purchased Toughbook laptop computers for every Officer/Community Service Officer in the field (approximately 350).  Funds were also used to purchase peripheral equipment (microphones, ergonomic mounts and docking station, drivers license readers, printers, etc.).  Officer safety has been dramatically improved by providing vital, real-time information to Officers (mug shots, criminal history information, mapping programs) as well as real-time Homeland Security Alerts.  Prior to the technology upgrade, Officers would copy Alerts or BOLO's and hand deliver them to Officers in the field (causing long delays in receiving important information) instead of emailing important data.  While the technology equipment has enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of our Officers, the equipment is in its sixth year of use.  Due to the rigors of a law enforcement environment, much of the equipment has been sent to the vendor for repair and the laptops will have to be replaced in the near future.
