What Does the Citrus Industry Think?

We've heard from a number of people about the closing of the Citrus Festival. The articles in The Ledger and News Chief both quote Winter Haven officials, Citrus Festival officials, and local residents.
However there is one group that we haven't heard from. The citrus industry. After all, it's their festival. I use the word 'their' loosely here. They seem to be conspicuously silent in this matter?

Their silence is not very appealing. The should step to the pulpit and give us all the juicy details.
Perhaps they don't like the limelight.

Their silence is deafening. All the elements that made the original festivals great are no longer part and parcel of the industry. It's a carnival and ... we need to let that go.
