I wonder who is going to be tapped to pay for this. My guess, CA businesses and taxpayers.

Yeah, we have ice in both cubed and crushed formats.

Um, everyone who wants to buy produce that is now in short supply will be paying for it.

Produce pricing will only be part of it, unfortunately.

I saved my two lemon trees and an orange tree by moving them into a garage.

I believe most crops are insured, and that insurance comes from the government. So yeah, we'll all be paying for it.

A lot of it is used for juice. A client I work for is in the juice processing business, and this is going to affect them quite a bit. They're probably going to have to bring in citrus fruit from out of state since 75-80% of this years crop has been damaged.
