Learned very disturbing news this morning. Dakin Dairy Farms in Myakka City is very heavily damaged with about 200 cattle killed. Surviving cattle are sick with pneumonia and other maladies due to the stress from the storm.

Dakin Farms is one of the last full service dairy farms in Florida. It my favorite place to visit when crossing the state, going to and from visiting my Mom. Dakin Farms is 18 miles due east of our evacuation location.

Owner Jerry Dakin called the storm a disaster unlike anything he had witnessed in his life. Owner Jerry Dakin said he isn't sure that rebuilding the longtime dairy farm is feasible.
