“It
is our calling to help restore the livelihood of farmers and ranchers,”
said Florida Farm Bureau President Jeb S. Smith. “So many farm families
have suffered devastating loss and will be rebuilding and replanting
for months. The Disaster Relief Fund is one example of how Floridians
can give back to our state’s farmers and ranchers who provide them with a
fresh, wholesome food supply, all while maintaining our natural
resources.”
