Key Damage Estimates from GA:
- Short-Term Plant Loss: Estimated at $314.15 million, this includes plants that were ready to be sold within the year of the hurricane’s landfall. The assessment was based on farm gate values from impacted counties, adjusted for inflation and the percentage of plant losses reported by nurseries and greenhouses.
- Infrastructure Damage: Estimated at $51.12 million, this includes costs related to replacing or repairing greenhouses, as well as other production space and associated infrastructure. Damage to irrigation systems, equipment, and the need for additional labor were also factored into this estimate.
- Long-Term Plant Loss: Estimated at $84.67 million, this loss primarily affects field nurseries, where the production timeline for trees and shrubs spans multiple years. Future losses over the next four to five years were projected, with higher losses assumed for older trees due to the lengthy production cycle.

Modern businesses thrive with more data and smart decisions are made based on last year’s, last month’s, and even last week’s numbers. Looking back is the best way to look forward to forecast supply needs, labor costs, inventory on hand, and all the essential components to running a successful business. Cultivation businesses are no different. Without knowing your inventory on hand, it is difficult to grow your business – or at least know you are indeed growing. Knowing starts with the task of identifying you inventory. With a thermal printer and some tags, this task can be fairly simple. Each variety can be printed with a unique QR code or barcode to set it apart from the other varieties in your inventory. Once each plant or flat is tagged, you can begin the process of scanning the tags to tally the quantity of each variety or strain. Using this system of printing a 2D or 3D barcode and then scanning them with inventory software, you can eliminate human error and reduce hours of labor costs spent on audits, cycle counts and data entry. More importantly, you will get a handle on what you have and what you need. The ROI results are tangible and you will see the reports you need with the data you are looking for to make the best decisions for your business. It all starts with a call to Specialty Tag & Label to begin the conversation to find the right solution for your grow.
