Hi, orlfan,
I've found an excellent website which is maintained by the Florida
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. It's PDF format, so
you'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view it. It's
too difficult to properly list the figures I've found, but I will give
you the total acreage per county, as well as the page on the document
where you can see the crop breakdown.
Citrus Acreage By Counties Page 6 of 29
Crops include breakdown by oranges and grapefruit -- all types -- and
specialty fruits.

Starting on page 23 of 29, you can scroll along the next pages to view
acreage, yield and production, by district and county, some for the
years 2000 and 2001 and others for the years 2001 and 2002 for corn,
peanuts, soybeans, flue-cured tobacco, cotton, sugarcane and wheat.

There is another section which deals with field crops in a similar
fashion, but it's not available on-line. You can, however, order the
Florida Agricultural Fast Facts Directory from this page:
