Hurricane Helene made landfall near Perry, Florida, on September 26, 2024, as a Category 4 storm with winds reaching 140 mph. The storm caused widespread damage, particularly in Florida’s Big Bend region, which had already been hit by multiple hurricanes in the previous year. Helene brought devastating storm surges of up to 15 feet in some areas, causing severe flooding and inundation along the coast. Agricultural losses were significant, especially for farmers in the Big Bend area, which is home to many small-scale farming operations.
