Florida agriculture hit with $190M losses from Hurricane Milton

Associated Press  

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Florida agriculture suffered more than $190 million in losses from Hurricane Milton, making it the costliest for farmers and ranchers of three cyclones that pummeled the state in 2024, according to University of Florida researchers. When all the data is in, the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences estimates the losses from Milton could reach over $642 million. “Milton resulted in higher agricultural losses than Hurricane Helene, not only because it caused more intense weather conditions overall, but also because areas producing high-value commodities experienced higher-intensity weather conditions,” said Xiaohui Qiao, an IFAS research assistant professor. Helene, which came ashore Sept. 27 along the Big Bend region of Florida, impacted about 6 million acres of agricultural lands, the report said.
