Farmers across South Carolina are juggling a wild mix of challenges and successes this week. Coastal growers are harvesting butterbeans, peas, and okra in big volumes, but battling two-spot cotton leafhoppers and heavy rains—over 8 inches in some areas! Peppers are mysteriously wilting, and pecan orchards are fighting scab and anthracnose after all the wet weather. Meanwhile, muscadine grapes and pumpkins are looking good, and U-pick operations are open. With diseases and pests on the rise, it’s a crucial time for farmers to scout their fields and share what’s working. How are these swings in weather and pests affecting your crops or local markets? #Business #Industry #SouthCarolina
