Hurricane Relief and Natural Disaster Resources for Farmers

From hurricanes to other factors beyond their control, there’s no question it takes resilience to be a farmer.

When hurricanes and other natural disasters strike, farmers face significant challenges to rebuild and recover. Access to effective hurricane relief and natural disaster resources is essential to helping agricultural operations bounce back and continue feeding our communities. From securing financial support to repairing damaged infrastructure, farmers rely on hurricane relief to overcome the unique obstacles they face after devastating storms.

Back in 2018, we saw the impacts of these events directly when several members of our team stayed with a South Georgia multigenerational farm owner and his family in Camilla, Georgia, through Hurricane Michael. Worsham farms, growers and producers of over 1,500 acres of sweet corn, 1,200 acres of peanuts, and 2,500 acres of pecans—with trees over 100 years old—allowed us to document their journey and share the story of what it takes to be a resilient farmer in an industry where you risk it all to work the land you love.

This experience further solidified the importance of farmers having access to the information and resources they need to overcome the impact of hurricanes and other natural disasters.
