Disasters threaten county farmers after hurricane impact
AYNOR farmer Ronald Rabon and others face tough recovery after Hurricane Matthew drenched 700 acres of cotton. Instead of 1,400 bales, Rabon expects about 450 as last year’s drought lingers. Statewide damages climb toward hundreds of millions, with soybeans and peanuts also damaged. Hardee notes crops unlikely to exceed last year’s devastation.
