Florida farmers and ranchers affected by Hurricane Helene can now apply for interest-free loans through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Agriculture and Aquaculture Producers Natural Disaster Recovery Loan Program. These loans are available to eligible agriculture and aquaculture producers to restore, repair, or replace essential physical property, such as fences, equipment, greenhouses, and other buildings. They can also be used to remove vegetative debris.
The state-funded and administered Natural Disaster Recovery Loan Program offers immediate gap financing until additional federal resources become available.
