Hurricane Helene disrupts Georgia's harvest season | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen has significantly impacted Georgia’s agriculture during the critical harvest season, according to reports from Governor Brian Kemp and agricultural officials. The storm has damaged every agricultural commodity, with estimates indicating greater financial losses than those caused by Hurricane Michael, which incurred $2.5 billion in damages in 2018. Currently, over 170 poultry facilities, 15 dairies, and various agricultural operations have been affected, with severe losses in cotton, tree nut, and timber crops. State leaders are advising farmers to meticulously document all damages for potential federal assistance, with Congressman Austin Scott seeking bipartisan relief measures for the affected farmers.
As we continue to track Hurricane Helene’s impact across Georgia, FOX 5 Streaming Host Ariyl Onstott did some digging on how the storm disrupted the state’s agriculture industry during harvest season.
