Since the New York Times requires a login to read a story, I found a
source in Google that had copied it - try the Free Internet Press:

But while I was looking, I ran across another NYT citrus  trouble
story, "A tiny insect that apparently hitched a ride to Florida from
West Africa aboard Hurricane Andrew in 1992 has suddenly begun infesting
citrus groves throughout the state, sucking the life from orange,
grapefruit, lemon and lime leaves and drying up profits for the
beleaguered $8 billion-a-year citrus industry." But the date of the
story on the citrus leaf miner was April 14, 1994.

Citrus farming must be a tough way to make a living.

I know that citrus is of marginal interest to most members of this group, but for those who might be interested:
