I didn't know they were the biggest in this country.Mildura is almost a desert climate with very high summer temps routinely at 45c and quite cool in winter.

Thanks Millet, really impressive!
How is that compared to Florida's/California's citrus processing, I wonder?

Typically Australian farms look for automation as labour costs and wages are so high. Minimum wages are around 20/hr US which is much higher than the US and othger citrus growing countries generally. I would not be surprised if the US systems are less automated and more worker oriented as a result.
