The theme of the June 2017 issue of Citrus Industry magazine is risk management.

Their article offers practical information on production, market, financial, legal and personal risk tools.

The article, authored by Mongi Zekri, Bob Rouse and Jonathan Crane, is full of useful tips growers can implement to help protect their investment.
Another risk growers face is agricultural crime, and the problem seems to be getting worse. AgNet Media’s Abigail Taylor reports on the issue. Read what you can do about it to prevent loss.
Other feature topics in the June issue include a new citrus installation at a Georgia prison and the potential for commercial vanilla production in South Florida. Subscribers can look forward to these articles and more, coming next month in Citrus Industry magazine.
