In fall of 2024, Extension Agents throughout South Carolina surveyed growers on specialty crop acreage for the year. The goal was to identify the counties of production, acreage, and observable market prices for the year.

If you are aware of missing acreage, please contact your

This is a collaborative project between Clemson Extension Horticulture and Agribusiness teams.
