How farm prepare for Hurricane season？

Every year, the hurricane season can cause serious damage to farmers, but with proper preparation, we can minimize the damage.

Forecasters at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service, are forecasting above-average hurricane activity this year, making it its seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. This means that farmers are about to face greater challenges from the hurricane.
