Economists Estimate $55-100M Hit to Florida Agriculture Due to Hurricane Sally

By Pam Knox
 
I’ve posted several stories about the impacts of Sally on agriculture in the Southeast. This latest, from IFAS, indicates that the costs from Sally were between $55 and $100 million. Damage from 2018 Hurricane Michael was worse because the winds were stronger and lasted farther inland, but Sally dropped a lot more rain because it was moving so slowly, and the strong winds of the eye wall lasted a long time near the coast due to Sally’s slow motion, too. You can read more about their analysis and find a link to the report at http://nwdistrict.ifas.ufl.edu/phag/2020/09/25/economists-estimate-55-100m-hit-to-florida-agriculture-due-to-hurricane-sally/.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
