LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Are you a juice drinker? You've probably noticed the price is at an all time high.

Orange juice specifically is up 30% in price this year.

Why? Orange production is less and less in Florida and Brazil, the two biggest producers, due to weather and a bacterial disease called citrus greening, which has been ruining crops.

You may be forced to switching up your morning beverage if you want to save money.

Apple juice is 15 percent cheaper, or you could opt for a Blends drink, such as orange-apple juice or orange-cranberry juice.

If orange prices keep rising, don't be surprised to see the bottles shrink - again.

With crop problems expected to continue into next year, don't look for any big drops in prices.
