Florida ? Orange alert. Orange alert.

Florida fruit growers readied for another blast of freezing temperatures Sunday after escaping the previous two icy nights with only minor damage to their multibillion-dollar crops.

Temperatures in parts of the state could drop below freezing before dawn today, the National Weather Service said in Orange Heights. It posted a freeze warning for several inland counties in the northern and central parts of Florida.

Fruit and vegetable sales are worth millions to Florida’s farmers. The $9 billion Florida citrus industry has struggled with two rough hurricane seasons and fruit diseases, but so far has avoided a freeze like the one that devastated California citrus last month.

Farmers around Florida said their oranges and strawberries had weathered the cold so far, but bean and corn growers in South Florida said their losses have been significant.
