Only once in the past 100 years of Florida citrus crop was killed in a cold snap. This happened in the late 80's. Farmers whose farms were located to the north of the city Layklend and Orlando, had to abandon the production of citrus fruits.

In the past, when the market there were frostbitten fruit on citrus prices fell sharply and farmers ruined. Now strict market control committee in Florida for the production of citrus fruits helps to maintain prices at a proper level even after cold winters.

Another important crop is considered to be the state tobacco growing mainly in the north of Florida. The cultivation of tobacco began in the late 20-ies. The twentieth century, after the hordes of rodents, attacked the cotton plantation in Florida, destroyed most of the harvest. Tobacco growing market centers Florida is the city of Live Oak County (Live Oak).

Besides citrus and tobacco, in the southern part of Florida's growing amounts of thermophilic sugar cane. Clewiston City, on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee, is the center of the cultivation of sugarcane in Florida.
