Florida’s citrus crop forecast is the lowest in nearly 100 years

Florida’s citrus crop forecast is the lowest in nearly 100 years, recent hurricanes are a major factor. The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday issued a forecast that said Florida growers this season are on pace to fill 15.65 million boxes of oranges, which would be the lowest total since the 1934-1935 season. The new forecast also was down from an April projection of 16.1 million boxes.
