The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is requesting farmers impacted by Winter Storm Enzo to complete the UF/IFAS Economic Impact Analysis Program (EIAP) survey on losses and damages.
The storm brought sub-freezing temperatures and historic snowfall to North Florida between Jan. 20-22. It affected agricultural operations that were already impacted by hurricanes Debby, Helene and/or Milton.
Survey respondents should adjust relevant, commodity-specific information to reflect the operation’s characteristics after the storm(s) and before Winter Storm Enzo. Survey participation should take between 10 and 20 minutes. Answers are confidential.
Producers who have not previously reported impacts from the hurricanes are encouraged to do so through the relevant surveys: go.ufl.edu/debbyagimpacts, go.ufl.edu/heleneagimpacts and go.ufl.edu/miltonagimpacts.
Responses from EIAP surveys are used to improve estimates of the state’s collective agricultural losses from weather events and inform decision-making related to disaster declaration, response and relief.
The survey is part of ongoing UF/IFAS research tracking the effects of severe weather and other hazards on the state’s agricultural industry.
