Any farmers or growers here?

5. My family has owned Florida orange groves since the 1930s

But my Dad did all the management. Now the last groves are owned by my sisters and I and we have a management company that does all of that.

Because of citrus greening the company has suggested we consider planting some other crop if/when our groves get the greening, maybe blueberries. So far we've been lucky but the citrus trees are not as profitable as they used to be.

As suggested, talk to you local agricultural extension office. They have lots of information on all kinds of things. They can also put you in touch with (paid) professionals that can help with a lot of the work.

If you have citrus, check into the Citrus industry magazine - http://citrusindustry.net/ . They have a free newsletter but their magazine will keep you up to date on the newest information.
