Citrus in Crisis, part 3

In this episode, Citrus in Crisis part 3, the Modern Farming Podcast dives into the unprecedented challenges facing Florida’s citrus industry. From back-to-back hurricanes to years of ongoing struggles, the state’s iconic orange production is on track to hit its lowest levels since 1930.

We explore the ripple effects of these issues on farmers, consumers, and the future of agriculture in Florida. Drawing insights from three key articles, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the crisis:
