UF Still Calculating Damages Following Eta

UF Still Calculating Damages Following Eta
By Pam Knox
 
With all of the damage from hurricanes and tropical storms this year, extension agents and others are scrambling to keep on top of the post-storm studies of losses due to heavy rain and high winds. The latest storm, Eta, is no exception. The heavy rain from Eta hit southern Florida right when production of fresh vegetables for Thanksgiving was near peak, and agents are still trying to determine what the losses there are. You can read more about it and hear from a local farmer at Vegetable and Specialty Crop News at https://vscnews.com/uf-damages-eta/.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
