    Florida “lucked” out of the laborers needed to pick fruit. In 2000 Florida produced 21 billions pounds of Oranges. In 2025 they produced 1. In 2026 they won’t make 1. All of the groves are dying and every orange tree in the state is infected and they don’t have a solution.

      They can even use it to make the finest New Jersey wine on the market.
