Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act

The Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act allocates $3.5 billion in federal funds to help Florida farmers and growers recover from crop losses caused by freezing temperatures. These funds are distributed as block grants to the state, which then provides compensation to producers for damage to crops, trees, bushes, and vines in specific counties designated as disaster areas. The money is restricted to losses occurring in counties that received a freeze disaster declaration issued on March 4, 2026, and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to submit quarterly reports on how the assistance is being implemented.
