Last year's Hurricane Wilma and a cold stretch this past February would leave Florida with its worst orange crop from past 1990, when the state saw freezes, which crippled production, the federal government said this Thursday. The U.S. Department of the Agriculture predicted 135 million boxes of oranges would now be picked in the 2006-07 season, down from an already-lower than 148 million boxes last year. Before two nasty hurricane seasons blew through, the situation was standard about 220 million boxes of oranges, each of which weighs 90 pounds. posted by author
