Cabbage acreage drops in Florida due to high freight rates
Florida cabbage growers report a sharp decline in plantings from last year as freight costs suppress shipments. Reports from multiple Florida counties show acreages down from about 8000 acres to a few dozen or hundred in several locations. Suppliers anticipate smaller yields with limited contracts and varied varieties such as Wakefield and Charleston. A few shipments will proceed locally or to nearby markets, while some stations report no plantings this year. Freight rates to New York and other cities range around 1.50 to 2.00 per cwt or per car, affecting profits and marketing options.
