Bad winter puts freeze on California etrog harvest
by SUE FISHKOFF,
Jerusalem Post Service 
The past year's bad weather in California, including below-freezing temperatures last December and biting cold rains through February and March, is proving to be a windfall for a handful of Israelis.

Which Israelis? The etrog growers, of course.

That's because this year's etrog crop in California has failed.

"There will not be a harvest this year," said John Kirkpatrick, a San Joaquin Valley farmer recently tabbed "the only large-scale U.S. producer of the etrog" by the Wall Street Journal.

Sukkot, the holiday that creates the demand for etrogim, begins today at sunset.»
