Weather rarely scares me, but I will admit I became concerned at 4:00 am on the Saturday morning of the storm passing by close to us. The storm\u00a0has caused damage to pecan orchards and crops that were still in the field.<\/p>\n<p>There is considerable damage that is noticeable throughout Bulloch County and the surrounding area from the recent hurricane. The excessive rain and extended high winds damaged pecan orchards, cotton and peanuts. The pecan trees blown over and broken limbs\u00a0is\u00a0most obvious to the eye, but damage to cotton and peanuts were also sustained. There\u00a0was cotton\u00a0blown out of the burrs\u00a0and onto the ground. The peanut crop\u00a0took on a lot more rain than what was needed for digging purposes and can effect the quality of those peanuts that were already on top of the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the\u00a0last two\u00a0years of wet, cloudy weather for weeks during harvest, at least the sun came out shortly after Matthew\u00a0got out of our range. Not to say that there is not damage, but hopefully not as many quality issues that we\u00a0experienced in the last couple years.<\/p>\n<p>Those of you that sustained damage to your pecan orchard may be eligible for assistance under the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
