On Wednesday, the Florida Citrus Commission made a second budget revision of the growing season to account for the industry's drop in production, which has been exacerbated by Hurricane Ian. Commission members adjusted the Florida Department of Citrus budget by $776,142, with most of the money shifted out of reserves.
The move came after the U.S. Department of Agriculture this month reduced a forecast for Florida orange production by 29 percent, grapefruit production by 10 percent and specialty fruits by 14 percent.
