[quote]. . But if it's better to have solar here, why isn't it better to have solar everywhere they are farming??

Put the dang solar panels in the Sahara and Gobi deserts. I'm not aware of any other use for those areas.


I'm not suggesting that you plow-up productive groves. However, as stated earlier, we've lost about 70,000 acres of grove to canker (if you believe the estimate). And, there is still no cure for canker. The only "treatment" is to destroy the affected trees and all those around them.

If you have a forty acre grove and you loose five acres to canker, what are you gonna do? Plant new trees? Or, look for an alternative business plan!

I have an idea! Why don't you call Florida Community Bank in Immokalee and ask them if they'll loan you money to buy an orange grove. I'd like to hear what they say.
