Supporting Georgia Farmers Beyond the Storm

Georgia’s farmers are the backbone of our communities, providing the food, fiber, and economic stability that sustain our state. The Weathered But Strong: Hurricane Relief Fund was created to provide immediate financial relief to farmers impacted by Hurricane Helene—but the work doesn’t stop there.

Disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts will continue to challenge Georgia’s agricultural industry. That’s why we’re expanding our efforts to support long-term recovery and resilience for farmers through:

• Developing Agriculture-Focused Disaster Mitigation Plans
  We are working to create practical, farmer-driven disaster response and mitigation strategies that help producers prepare for and recover from future storms and climate-related challenges.

• Providing Mental Health Resources for Farmers
  Farming is a high-stress profession, and disasters only add to the pressure. We are investing in farmer-focused mental health programs, expanding access to counseling, and ensuring that farmers have the support they need to navigate difficult times.

• Training Farmer Advocates and First Responders
  We are equipping farmer advocates, agricultural leaders, and rural first responders with the tools to recognize stress in farmers, offer resources, and provide meaningful support to those facing financial and emotional strain after a disaster.
