“We're losing something like 50 to 75 million pounds of tomatoes per day that are being plowed under.”

“80% of Florida crops are going into food service. So restaurants, cruise ships, schools... that demand is completely gone.”

“There's $350 billion earmarked and a small business can get up to $10 million... that pool of money is not enough. So you're going to see a huge number of people who will never reopen again.”
