Florida Citrus Mutual celebrated its 75th Citrus Industry Annual Conference in Bonita Springs, Florida, last week. During the event’s industry luncheon, Glenn Beck was presented with the Citrus Achievement Award trophy. The award is presented by AgNet Media and is sponsored by Florida Citrus Mutual.
Beck concluded his two-year tenure serving as Mutual’s president during the conference. His service came at a critical juncture as the citrus industry continues to experience the effects of HLB and a freeze and two hurricanes last year.
Beck dedicated countless hours serving his fellow growers during his term as president. And despite the challenges the citrus industry faces, he remains optimistic about the state’s signature crop.
Here’s Beck’s take on the future of Florida citrus.
