     “The historic freezes we witnessed this year have been a devastating blow to our agricultural family, with many of our growers facing losses they haven’t seen in generations,” said Victoria Register, chair of the Florida Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee. “The Women’s Leadership Committee is honored to steward this fund because we see firsthand the resilience of our farm families. This isn’t just about financial support; it’s about neighbors helping neighbors stand back up so they can continue the vital work they continue to do day in and day out.”
