In the Fall of 2022, Extension Agents throughout South Carolina surveyed growers on specialty crop acreage for the year. This was the first year of what is expected to be an annual survey. For this first year, data was collected for six crops: collard greens, lima beans, peaches, strawberries, sweet corn, and watermelon. The goal was to identify in which counties they were grown, how much, and observable market prices for the year.
The stats below are for collards grown and harvested during 2022. Stats for the other crops will be available soon.
