 The weather didn't seem to be a problem in the 80's

    We are ‘commodities brokers,’ William. Now, what are commodities? Commodities are agricultural products... like coffee that you had for breakfast... wheat, which is used to make bread... pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a ‘bacon, lettuce and tomato’ sandwich.

    Diseases like citrus greening and citrus canker are making it hard for grove owners.
IIRC, if canker is spotted in a grove, the whole grove must be destroyed.

    Canker? Greening?
The Florida Citrus industry is about as dead as Biden’s re-election prospects. All that citrus land is going to become strip malls, subdivisions and theme parks.

    Fertilisers goes on the soil. Rain washes fertiliser off soil into Lake Okeechobee. Canal drains water with fertiliser into Indian River Lagoon. Algae scarf up fertiliser. Everything else struggles for existence. Worst of all, red fish and sea trout become a thing of the past. It sucks, man.
