GDA, GFB, ag partners launch hurricane relief fund
The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA), in a partnership with the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture (GFA) and with support from Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB), has launched the Weathered But Strong: Hurricane Relief Fund to aid farmers and ranchers facing devastating losses from Hurricane Helene. The fund aims to raise $1 million by December to provide direct financial aid to those impacted by the storm. All donations will go directly to verified farmers.
The Weathered But Strong: Hurricane Relief Fund is a cross-industry initiative with more than 40 agricultural organizations participating. It is designed to assist Georgia’s farmers with recovery efforts, including damages to crops, livestock, and farm infrastructure. The campaign emphasizes resilience within the agricultural community and collaboration to ensure a strong recovery for the state’s farming community.
