Hurricane Ian caused an estimated $1 billion in agricultural-production losses, with the biggest hits to the citrus industry, along with growers of vegetables and melons, according to a new University of Florida report that was discussed in Southeast Ag Net last week. This does not include damage to buildings or to downed trees, since it will take time to assess the value of those items. By comparison, in 2017, Hurricane Irma, which made landfall in the Florida Keys and moved up the state, inflicted an estimated $2.5 billion in agricultural losses, including $761 million in the citrus industry, but those estimates were made using a different process so they are not completely comparable.
