Farms first
In 2017-18, 440,209 acres in Palm Beach County were in agriculture, 35 percent of the county, according to its Cooperative Extension, which also counts 396 horticultural nurseries and ranks the county third in Florida for nursery production. Belle Glade, on the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, grows sugar cane and vegetables, and the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative mill there employs 550 people during the crop season.
Our reading: farms need water, fertilizer and spray mix in bulk, so rinsed totes are the product to ask about.
Rain in four Palm Beach County cities
| City | Average annual precipitation |
|---|---|
| West Palm Beach | 61.75 inches, mostly May through October |
| Boca Raton | 57.27 inches |
| Belle Glade | 55.22 inches |
| Jupiter | Dry November to April, wet May to October |
Farms in Belle Glade and gardens in Boca Raton see about the same yearly rain, but a farm uses water daily through the dry season, so the size of the store matters more than the rain figure.
Storms in the county's history
The hurricane of September 16, 1928 killed 611 people in Belle Glade alone and over 1,800 statewide, according to Wikipedia, which also notes that West Palm Beach was devastated by the same storm and that a large dike was later erected to protect towns around Lake Okeechobee from storm-driven overflows. In Wellington, the US Army Corps of Engineers built a levee between 1952 and 1953 to protect a ranch from Everglades floodwaters. Water storage has a long history here, and so has the need to secure it.
The port
The Port of Palm Beach in Riviera Beach is the fourth-busiest container port in Florida and handles bulk sugar, molasses, cement and utility fuels.
