Florida Citrus grower till I die. Any extra inch of land I get will be citrus. I am leaving a legacy for my kids and a blessing for our state.

Thirty years ago, 225 million boxes of oranges were picked in Florida groves.
This year, the forecast from the U.S. Agriculture Department is 12 million boxes, a drop of 95% in one generation.
I’ve seen this with my own eyes.
Orange groves have been replaced with vast expanses of tract house communities, built for the constant stream of new Florida transplants.
