University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Economic Impact Analysis Program (EIAP) is surveying losses and damages associated with Hurricane Milton.
Agricultural producers can complete the survey at the link here or report information to their local UF/IFAS Extension office by calling or by visiting in person (if open).
The survey is part of ongoing UF/IFAS research tracking the effects of severe weather and other hazards on the state's agricultural industry. Participants are asked to assess their production losses and asset damages due to Hurricane Milton. If the operation was also previously impacted by Hurricane Debby and/or Hurricane Helene, participants should adjust the relevant, commodity-specific information on acreage in production, number of animals on farms, etc. to reflect the operation's characteristics after the previous storm and just before Hurricane Milton.
Responses will be used to improve estimations of the state's collective agricultural losses from such events and inform decision-making related to disaster declaration, response, and relief. Survey participation should take between 10 and 20 minutes. Answers are confidential.
Producers are encouraged to continue reporting agricultural impacts from Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Helene. Access the confidential UF/IFAS EIAP surveys for those storms by visiting this link for Hurricane Debby and this link for Hurricane Helene.
