S.C. COUNTY RECORDS BIGGEST CROPS 08-17-10 15:30 a.v.
According to the recently released 2009 crop report for Santa Cruz County, the total gross production of agricultural commodities was the highest it’s ever been. The increase appears to have been driven by strawberries and nursery plants, including flowers. Apples, once the county’s biggest crop, has dropped to 10th. Officials attribute the increase in strawberry production to last year’s good weather.
