Florida Farmers Hit Hard by Cold Snap, Seek Federal Relief
Last months unprecedented cold snap in Florida dealt a significant blow to farmers, particularly in Central Florida. Southern Hill Farms in Clermont suffered a 35% loss in expected income due to damaged crops, contributing to statewide agriculture losses of $3.1 billion. The disaster prompted U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to declare the freeze an official disaster, opening the door for federal relief funding. Farmers like David Hill, owner of Southern Hill Farms, are hopeful that this funding will help them recover and maintain operations into next year, as signs of recovery begin to emerge.
