The SC Grower Exchange: October 6, 2025

On this episode, all we do is talk about how dry it is and how many diamondback moths are in the field…kidding, kidding! Although it sometimes feels like those are the only things going on, we actually did discuss a few more things happening around the state. Agents are on board for regional updates as well as a deeper discussion on “Strawberry Season”. Andy, Justin, and Zack tell us about the in-line fumigation work they have been doing with farms across the state. Rob and I join in to discuss things to look for before and during planting to ensure a good chance of successful establishment, and issues to scout for early. A fun new segment we are adding to the show is a little game of trivia to test the agent’s knowledge. Justin quizzes us on an invasive plant for this round. I’ll let it be a surprise who the winner was, but I’ll give you a hint: He ends the show with a “Dad Joke”!
