In the months since Hurricane Michael hit the panhandle of Florida, cleanup continues in many areas. As we know, the storm was so devastating that it not only wiped out a lot of farmers’ 2018 crop, but it also went after future crops. Some folks may be familiar with the Florida Foundation Seed Producers (FFSP), the place many farmers get seeds most suited to Florida’s climate and soils. University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Senior Vice President for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Jack Payne, says the storm went after the 2019 and 2020 peanut crops.
