Weather Volatility Drives Agricultural Crop Shifts from Georgia to Florida
What happened
Production of corn and green beans in Georgia is progressing well, with the state experiencing above-average weather and minimal damage from Hurricane Isaias. However, a hard freeze is expected in the third or fourth week of November, which will prompt growing operations to shift to Florida for the remainder of the winter season. Demand for these crops has remained strong.
