SPARKS TO HEAD FLORIDA CITRUS MUTUAL

Mike Sparks has been selected to serve as the executive vice president and chief executive officer of Florida Citrus Mutual. Sparks is a longtime Florida Department of Citrus official who was also considered for the top spot at that agency before Ken Keck was selected for the job.

Sparks replaces Andy LaVigne, who resigned in February to take the position of president and CEO of the American Seed Trade Association.
