Steve Johnson: Farming, Family, Faith, and Farm Bureau

In this episode of Modern Farming, we sit down with Steve Johnson — fourth-generation citrus grower, cattle rancher, and Vice President of the Florida Farm Bureau Federation — for a candid look at the challenges and opportunities facing Florida agriculture today.

Based in Hardee County, Steve operates multiple family businesses including Johnson Harvesting, Treeair Cattle Co., Johnson Groves and Farms, and Sabel Logistics. From managing labor and H-2A programs to navigating the evolving citrus market and labor challenges, Steve shares how his family continues to adapt while preserving their deep agricultural roots.

We also talk about cow/calf operations, the rising costs of production, and how Farm Bureau plays a vital role in supporting Florida’s farmers and ranchers. Off the farm, Steve shares stories about faith, family, and finding balance — often on the water, fishing in his downtime.

Tune in for a grounded, heartfelt conversation about leadership, legacy, and what it takes to keep Florida farming strong for the next generation.
