Good news for Florida: Under the Farm Bill we passed this year, Florida growers whose groves have been afflicted with citrus disease are now eligible to receive assistance for removing affected trees and replacing them with healthy stock. This is an important program to bridge the gap while we continue working for a cure for the citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB). HLB, or citrus greening, threatens to wipe out Florida citrus, taking billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs from our state while reducing our nations food security.
