Ag Commissioner Hugh Weathers told CNBC – on Wednesday – that the storm hurt peanut, cotton and soybeans but time will tell how much they’ve been damaged.
He says peanut farmers might not be able to access their fields in order to harvest. Cotton that was ready to harvest before Florence has been blown away by the storm. Weathers says soybeans that were a month from harvest might be okay.
