Florida’s legendary orange groves are rapidly vanishing, and many fear they may never recover.

Thirty years ago, the state produced roughly 225 million boxes of oranges. This season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts only about 12 million boxes — a staggering 95% decline in just one generation.

The primary culprit is citrus greening (Huanglongbing), a devastating bacterial disease spread by the Asian citrus psyllid. Once infected, trees slowly decline, producing bitter, misshapen, and often partially green fruit before eventually dying. There is still no cure.

Compounding the crisis are increasingly powerful hurricanes, which destroy trees, break branches, strip fruit, and demolish expensive protective screenhouses that cost up to $45,000 per acre. Many struggling growers are selling their land to real estate developers. Once converted into housing, roads, or commercial projects, those groves are gone forever.

Florida orange juice once dominated American breakfast tables. Today, Brazil produces roughly 70% of the world’s orange juice supply, while the U.S. share has shrunk dramatically.

Scientists are working urgently on disease-resistant varieties, but after more than two decades of relentless decline, many in the industry worry that the golden era of Florida oranges — once a defining symbol of the state — may never fully return.

Hospital CEO closed the OB unit to hit his margin bonus. Mothers now drive 70 miles to deliver. He just got promoted to run a bigger system.

No way it was 500$ per bottle!!

That’s almost 3k wholesale

So retail in an upscale restaurant would be at least 1500$ per bottle !!!!

@realdocspeaks “Write off” implies tax benefits.
It’s pure charity.
Mandatory lost time and money. An uncontrollable overhead cost traditionally offset by the paying patients.
But now the paying patients (via insurance companies) no longer even cover their costs.
Dismal times for independen

I’m extremely disappointed in @AmericanAir in just one trip…First you rebook me to the next day, Don’t cover hotel or food. I now have a 5 hour layover and been bumped out of my class. This is not how you treat loyal platinum frequent fliers. #dobetter #angry

This is a completely incorrect stance and comment. To think that Medicare is running out of money because of the choices and practices of doctors is out of step with reality. @RepGregMurphy has advocated for patients and physicians on many occasions, but this comment is off the mark. Look elsewhere.
