Florida’s Deep Freeze Brings Farming to a Standstill

 Sub-freezing temperatures across the South have brought farming operations to a halt. In Florida, farms and nurseries have suffered significant frost damage, with reports estimating crop losses could exceed $1 billion. For many growers, the financial impact will be long-term and far-reaching. 

Farmers Rely on Labor-Intensive Methods

Not every farm can afford costly prevention measures. Many depend heavily on labor:

• Spraying crops with water to create a protective ice barrier
  
  

• Covering fresh sod and sensitive plants
  
  

• Maintaining continuous watering and manual temperature checks

When freezes hit, recovery requires manpower — clearing damaged crops, stabilizing fields, and preparing for the next season.

Farmers Need Support Now More Than Ever

A well-staffed, reliable team can make the difference between delayed recovery and a strong seasonal comeback.
