Looks like the citrus industry in Florida is taking a hard hit.

That's really bad news for the growers as well as the consumers. I see the price of citrus going up.

I agree, I feel for them losing so much money and for us having to pay the outrageous prices.

I guess that's why I can't find a good bag of oranges in the grocery anymore.  Several years ago we used to buy oranges from a guy that set's up along the side of the road.  He would have a trailer loaded with bags of oranges and sell them for $5 a bag.  The bag would have 14-20 oranges.  Just don't see that anymore.
