I& #39;m glad to report that I feel slightly more optimistic than I did when I spoke with @timhammerich a few days ago, but the reality hasn& #39;t changed much. With restaurants closed, there is a glut of lemons at the worst possible time for Ventura County growers. https://twitter.com/timhammerich/status/1250162871385776128">https://twitter.com/timhammer...

Why more optimistic? Sunnier weather, harvest crews are at work, packinghouses have retooled to pack more fruit for retail, lower grade fruit is headed to food banks... it& #39;s still going to be a tough year on price, but a "no harvest" scenario seems less likely.
