CRDF’s chief operating officer Rick Dantzler admits that Florida citrus growers “are frustrated with CRDF” but urges them to vote to continue the mechanism to assess taxes on them to fund his organization just the same.
“When deciding how you vote on whether to continue the mechanism for self-assessment, if you are frustrated with CRDF, please try to separate that from the wisdom of having the self-assessment in place,” Dantzler said in a statement to Citrus Industry.
