Deadline Extended for Disaster Relief Grants
Today, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson announced an extension for Florida’s agricultural producers to apply for more than $600 million in disaster assistance for impacts from the 2023 and 2024 hurricane seasons. Florida producers now have until January 1, 2027, to apply for the Florida Block Grant Disaster Relief Program. Eligible agricultural producers can apply for grant funding to address infrastructure damage, market loss, citrus loss, and timber damage caused by recent hurricanes.
Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. All completed applications must be submitted by January 1, 2027, or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. The program is open to agricultural producers located in counties designated as primary or contiguous disaster areas who are U.S. citizens or legal entities with ownership or risk in affected commodities.
Additional information on the program, including eligibility and documentation requirements, is available at
