Hurricane Milton's estimated damage to Florida's agriculture could go up to $2.5 billion.
That's according to estimates from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
AdvertisementHurricane Milton singlehandedly wrecked as much havoc on Florida's agriculture as three other major hurricanes combined, according to new estimates from the state's agriculture department.
The commodities affected by hurricane damage include animal products, citrus and non-citrus fruit farming, field crops, greenhouses, and vegetable farming, per the damage assessment.
Representatives of Florida's Department of Agriculture didn't respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside business hours.
