I had no idea the Florida citrus industry died. That’s disturbing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/11/09/end-florida-orange-juice-leth

  I read the whole article. Doesn’t sound like it’s dead (actually production was up recently) but it’s a race to survive and most small farmers are being wiped out as they don’t have the means to raze all their trees and start over. So the outcome is still uncertain.

    That's because the article was from 2019.

      Here's a more recent article from May 2024, with graphs. It looks dire: https://citrusindustry.net/2024/05/07/florida-orange-production-plummeted-years/ https://citrusindustry.net/2024/05/07/florida-orange-product...

        Good point. I hadn't checked the date on the article. Wow, that is dire indeed.
