#US - #Farmers sound alarm as rare weather phenomenon threatens staple crops: 'It's an all-hands-on-deck deal'
Story by Leslie Sattler, February 4, 2026
"A brutal freeze gripped Florida over the weekend. It forced fruit and berry growers into all-night efforts to save their harvests from frost damage, reported AccuWeather.
What's happening?
"Temperatures fell to the 20s and 30s across the central and southern portions of the state. At those temperatures, crops can suffer harm within a short window.
"Growers ran water over their fields after dark. Though it sounds backward, spraying crops with water actually protects them. Ice forming on plants releases small amounts of heat, keeping the fruit warmer than the surrounding air.
" 'It's an all-hands-on-deck deal,' said Matt Joyner, CEO of Florida Citrus Mutual. 'Family gets recruited. Everybody gets recruited to go out and help in preparation.'
"Joyner noted that growers haven't faced cold this severe since 2010.
"Plant City orange grower Trevor Murphy said his trees sat in sub-28-degree air for six-plus hours on back-to-back nights. He's already spotting damage and believes many of the young trees he planted this winter won't survive.
" 'Coldest and longest duration of cold I've had since I've been growing oranges,' Murphy told AccuWeather.
"AccuWeather projects that 8% to 10% of unharvested oranges may be ruined. Another cold stretch looms this weekend."

Not only delicious, but also very dangerous: grapefruit juice.
Doing some serious reading to see whether my favourite fruit juice needs to disappear from my daily food list, thanks to several medicines I am forced to take. Also to find new, natural sources for vitamins A and C.
Not happy.

Okay, this post is a bit "sneaky" as it asks you to subscribe to the blog in order to get the explanation behind the question.
The truth is that it's mostly a test as I intend to develop the newsletter functions of my blogs more and more.

I'm processing assorted #dried #citrus peels this morning. Grinding some up. Breaking others into small pieces for easier, longterm pantry storage in airtight containers.

I finished my MFA during the pandemic shutdown in Italy. Only allowed out to grocery shopping and 10 min. walks I had to get creative with my art project. This is a rose macro I made from an orange peel. #FediGiftShop https://iris-richardson.pixels.com/featured/orange-rind-iris-richardson.html #Oranges #Rose #Fuit #FoodPorn #Food #FoodArt #FoodPhotography #Foodie #KitchenDecor #KitchenArt #Citrusfruit #mastoart #Art #Artist #IrisRichardsonArtist #WallArt
