Scott addresses growers

Gov. Rick Scott told citrus growers attending the Florida Citrus Industry Conference in Bonita Springs Wednesday that he’ll help them work to obtain money for research. “I know the research is very important,” he said. Scott also urged growers to contact him if they want him to help promote Florida citrus when he’s on trade missions. He drew chuckles when he talked about a recent “workday” in a citrus grove, where he picked fruit for several hours: “I wouldn’t have got paid minimum wage,” he said, referring to his picking rate.
