Abstract

Farmers in the South, like Chris Hopkins in Georgia, are still struggling to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, which hit in September. The storm caused over $10 billion in damages to crops, timber, and agribusinesses across several states. Farmers are facing significant losses, with cotton growers like Hopkins losing half of their harvestable lint and struggling to recoup costs even with insurance. Aid from the government and Congress is being sought to help farmers rebuild and recover from the storm's impact. [Extracted from the article]
