Helene could impact South Carolina crops

September is harvest time for many South Carolina farmers, and Clemson Cooperative Extension Service experts say rain and win from Hurricane Helene could pose problems for crops. Cotton is one crop that will likely be affected.  Harvest typically begins in South Carolina in late September.  Soybean specialists say about 25% of the state’s soybean crop has reached maturity, with most of the crop beginning to drop leaves.  About 95% of the South Carolina corn crop has been harvested.
