This week’s featured video was a CBS News report on the damage from Hurricane Irma to Citrus in Southwest Florida. The story features Paul Meador, Citrus Grower and Gene McAvoy, UF/IFAS Regional Vegetable Agent, who were out earlier this week assessing damage to crops and citrus in Hendry County. McAvoy estimates there were more than $2 billion dollars in damages to farms and ranches in Southwest Florida where the eye-wall of Hurricane Irma churned up groves, pastures, farm buildings, and vegetable farms.
