[Millet]

U.S. Sugar's Southern Gardens Citrus Corporation of Florida, farms more than 16,500 acres of citrus groves comprising 1.8 million citrus trees.  They are one of two commercial growers to first identify citrus greening disease (HLB) in its groves in October 2005. Like others growers, Southern Gardens is doing everything possible that it can, following all the recommended cultural practices to fight back against HLB, such as solid nutrition and aggressive psyllid control to stave off the disease. Despite all of their efforts Ricke Kress, president of the company said that more than 800,000 infected trees have been removed from its groves since the find.
