I saw in my Farmers Union news today the estimates of Ag losses in the South East are now $1,300,000,000.  That may or may not include 100 plus chicken houses destroyed in Georgia.
You guys OK down there?

There has not been any information as to crops losses from high water, inability to get in fields up north either. Some are thinking 10-15% of Soy not recoverable.

That was way south of us. All I've heard is around 2 million chickens were lost. According to the poultry contract they're supposed to have loss of income insurance. I'm sure it won't pay 100% but it'll pay some. I'm not sure what size the processing pants are there but 2 million birds here would be about three weeks production. I doubt we'll see any impact here unless they ship processed meat from here to the customers there. Then we might have some short turn around times. I know they lost a lot of hay down there but I don't have a clue how much

Didn't get any significant damage here or at the farm, everything south of us. Renter, I hesitate to call him just that since he is a long time friend, might have had some minor chicken house damage. South Georgia got hit had, lost a of crops and pecan trees which are a major cash crop down there. Estimate for full recovery on those is 17 to 25 years. The Sunbelt Expo is in the damage area and is going on today through Thursday.

I wondered if they'd put of the expo. I want to go someday. Hopefully I'll get a week without birds one year and can go. My FIL offered to watch the birds and let me go but the last time we did that we had a light timer malfunction and lost about 800 birds so I politely declined

I agree. Send the only time they remember the farmer is when they want to bitch at us or about us.... While eating what we provide
