Peach Growers Enthusiastic Over Prospects at McBee
Clemson College reports McBee peach growers in the Carolina Fruit Hills are optimistic about a strong crop and a lasting peach industry.

Buyers offer up to 2.50 per crate fob McBee, with extra over 2.50 shared after expenses. This supports a permanent, prosperous peach farming area in the sand ridge region.
