Flooding Damages Citrus Farm Supplying Coca-Cola in Vero Beach
What happened
Historic flooding across South Florida affected Greene Sugars Farm in Vero Beach, a family-owned citrus grove. The farm, which has a contract with Coca-Cola, received over 10 inches of rain in a single night. The citrus groves were flooded "trunk to trunk" for more than a week despite pumping efforts.

Why it matters
The flooding has severely damaged the farm's crops, trees, and livestock. Because the farm supplies citrus to Coca-Cola, the damage could disrupt the beverage company's supply chain.
Flooding is currently threatening businesses located on Ocean Drive in Vero Beach.
