**Florida’s agricultural sector is being asked to share their experiences with Winter Storm Enzo.
The University of Florida requests ag producers affected by Enzo to complete the Economic Impact Analysis survey on agricultural losses and damages.
Enzo brought freezing temps and record snowfall to northern Florida between January 20 and 22.
The ongoing research is tracking the effects of severe weather and other hazards on the state’s ag industry.
**During last week’s CattleCon, the popular CattleFax Outlook Seminar shared expert market and weather analysis.
Included was the U.S. beef industry looking for another year of strong market performance, driven by tight cattle supplies and robust consumer demand.
Following years of contraction, the beef cowherd should stabilize with the resulting supply constraints shifting market leverage in favor of cattle producers.
Weather will play a big part in grazing availability, herd expansion and cattle prices.
**Growth Energy applauded new data showing new U.S. export records for ethanol in 2024.
The U.S. exported 1.9 billion gallons of ethanol worth $4.3 billion in 2024, exceeding the 2018 record for volume, and the 2023 record for value.
CEO Emily Skor says the world looks to the U.S. to meet its fuel needs and American producers are delivering in a way that supports economic growth at home and abroad.
