Ohioans are suffering in the cold weather this week, and not just by going outside. Hunger activists say supplies of oranges and other citrus fruits - and especially orange juice - are expected to drop off after a cold snap caused an estimated billion dollars in damage to California's citrus crop. Lisa Hamlar-Fugitt with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks says those losses will hit Ohio's food pantries hard.
Strawberries, celery, onions and leafy greens grown in California are also expected to suffer from the cold snap. But some fruit growers are saying peaches, cherries, apples and grapes are doing especially well in the bitter weather. |
