The South Carolina Grower blog was created in April of 2019 as a means of sharing fruit and vegetable news and updates with the commercial growers in South Carolina.  The most notable feature of the blog is the weekly field update.  Hort agents send weekly field observations and photos from their respective areas to be included in the updates, which are compiled and posted each Monday morning.  These updates provide a summary of what’s being planted and picked, the pests or diseases that are active, and the weather conditions from around the state.  In less than one year, the blog has gained 162 subscribers, over 4600 views, and lots of positive feedback from SC growers.
