I'm glad to report that I feel slightly more optimistic than I did when I spoke with @timhammerich a few days ago, but the reality hasn't changed much. With restaurants closed, there is a glut of lemons at the worst possible time for Ventura County growers. https://twitter.com/timhammerich/status/1250162871385776128

Why more optimistic? Sunnier weather, harvest crews are at work, packinghouses have retooled to pack more fruit for retail, lower grade fruit is headed to food banks... it's still going to be a tough year on price, but a "no harvest" scenario seems less likely.
