California Florida dispute over national citrus coordinator
After three days of talks the national citrus coordination failed. Florida and California backed an economist as coordinator while Texas refused, pressing for Bruce McKay and a Florida assistant. The disagreement hints at likely regional proration rather than full national control for the coming season. Texas projects a grapefruit crop of 4,000 to 12,000 carloads joining the national citrus stage, with minimal changes to marketing procedures.
