Valencia orange crop economics and outlook
A farmer estimates an average Valencia orange yield of 200 boxes per acre with about 230 dollars gross per acre and roughly 200 dollars in cost per acre for growing the crop. He argues the industry has been demoralized but notes potential improvement if frost, drought, and pests are avoided and family costs, such as home repairs and a new car, are kept in check.
