South Carolina peaches look promising amid weather watch
Peach growers in the upstate express optimism as conditions remain favorable for this year's crop. Clemson experts say weather has not damaged peaches yet, though last year saw 20 to 25 percent loss due to heavy rains and brown rot.

Local growers like James Cooley and Kline Cash report blooms at early stages and rely on weather monitoring through mid April.
