Industrial Hempis Growing in SC

This is year one forindustrial hemp in SouthCarolina. Although a majorityof the 20 Industrial Hemp PilotProgram growers would tellyou that their hemp hasn’tgrown yet, I can tell youwithout a doubt that industrialhemp is growing in our state.It could actually increase by400 percent in a year‘s time.

The application process forthe 2019 SC Industrial HempPilot Program is under wayas of May 1. This secondyear program will allow ourdepartment to license 40farmers to grow up to 40 acreseach of industrial hemp.That’s twice the amount offarmers and acres permitted inthis first season. So, the statecan go from 400 acres total in2018 to 1,600 in 2019.

About a year ago, GovernorMcMaster signed into law H.3559, allowing South Carolinato begin growing industrialhemp to see if, where andhow it grows best in our state.The law purposefully created agradual expansion of theprogram, and I’m hopeful thatour understanding of hempbest practices will expand rightalong with the number ofacres being planted.

Understanding is key whenit comes to industrial hemp,because there’s quite a bitof misinformation about thisplant. The confusion stemsfrom hemp being designatedas a controlled substance, likeits cousin marijuana, in thefederal Controlled SubstancesAct passed by Congress in1970. While industrial hempand marijuana are thesame plant family, hempcontains virtually no THC(delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol),

Daily Market News Reports

The Agribusiness Center for Research andEntrepreneurship (ACRE) - the newest initiativeof the SC Department of Agriculture - recentlyselected five agribusiness entrepreneurs toparticipate in its Entrepreneurship Program.

The five entrepreneurs are diverse, innovative,and visionary. Each is eligible to receive up to$25,000 from ACRE, but the amount varies withthe project.

ACRE Project Coordinator Kyle Player wasimpressed with the energy and passion of theentrepreneurs selected. “We had 30 applicants,and they were all qualified, dedicated andimpressive, but these five best represent thevision of ACRE.”

The Entrepreneurship Program will helpposition these companies and products in themarketplace through collaboration, networkingand funding.

The five recipients are • Matt Miller, Manchester Farms• George Nelson, SweetBay Produce • Sam Norton, Heron Farms• Dr. Janice Ryan-Bohac, CAREnergy, LLC • Robbie Weathers, Southern Crop Solutions

Matt Miller, Manchester FarmsManchester Farms in Columbia is in the poultry

processing business with a niche focus on quailmeat and eggs for consumption. The plantgenerates a lot quail manure.

Matt’s idea is todevelop and sell ahigh quality compostthat farmers can use.Manchester Farms hasteamed up with a sodfarm in Orangeburg tomix grass clippings,quail manure andcotton waste. Themixture is combinedin windrows, goesthrough a heatingprocess that kills offthe pathogens, and

turned frequently to aerate the pile. After about 90days the resulting black compost looks and smellslike dirt, which they have dubbed "Quail Qwap.”

“This is a fantastic way to turn three separatefarm byproducts into a much-needed value addedproduct, which we plan on selling statewide overthe coming months and years,” Matt said.

The product is very consistent and nutrient rich.Instead of giving away the quail manure,Manchester Farms will capitalize on it by turningit into rich black compost that can be used asa soil amendment, top dress or mixed with soilto be a planting medium. Selling the compost willproduce a solid revenue stream and offer morework in rural South Carolina through a baggingoperation.

“We want to sell it in small bags to feed andseed centers, gardeners, and organic farms.We can also deliver in bulk, or on a pallet. Theycan resell it, and everyone is happy,” Matt said,adding that sustainability has always been part ofManchester Farms’ operation.

Matt will use ACRE funding to designand purchase two different size bags soManchester Farms can sell Quail Qwap indifferent markets.

George Nelson, SweetBaySweetBay in Berkeley County currently is a

combination of cutting edge greenhouses, growthmonitoring equipment, and food safetytechnology. USDA GAP certified and SC Certified,Sweetbay produces high quality, long shelf-lifeproduce.

“We are committed to the improvement of tastein vegetables of excellent quality and nutritionalvalue,” SweetBay co-owner George Nelson said.“Fresh local produce is readily available anddemand continues to grow.” The company hasinvested heavily in hydroponic methods and nowwants to expand by growing in the ground.

Sweetbay has .5 acre of commercial hydroponicgreenhouses, with additional arable land that canaddress the local “food desert” by providing afresh food supply through a farm store.

Recognizing that distribution continues to be thegreatest difficulty for local small to mid-size farms,SweetBay will use funding from ACRE to helpprovide fresh food to the local community throughthe addition of a Farm Camp and Farm SchoolProgram, expanding on the existing SundropsMontessori Pilot Project.

“We will educate participants in all foodproduction technologies onsite and will soon offertours,” George said. “We will also make availablemore quantities so foods may be entered in theSC Network Hub Program.”

Ultimately, SweetBay hopes to provide morevarieties of fresh local foods than are nowavailable in the local community.

Sam Norton, Heron FarmsHeron Farms in Charleston is the first saltwater

farm in the United States. It grows the nativeannual halophyte Salicornia (sometimes calledsamphire, sea pickle, sea beans, sea asparagus,or saltwort) by pumping full strength seawateronto barren marsh areas degraded by thedredging process.

The fruiting spikes of this marsh plant are thensold to Charleston restaurants. Because there-vegetation of these marsh areas providesan ecological service to the landowners, HeronFarms is allowed to use land at no cost.

Sam Norton became interested in saltwateragriculture while attending the College ofCharleston. He explained that most of thistype of research has been done in theMiddle East and hypothesized that our nativeSalicornia bigelovii might be propagated in marshareas along the coast, which could be thebasis for a U.S. venture into saline agriculture.Sam found Salicornia growing in several dredgedisposal sites.

Acre,continued from page 1

While traveling in Portugal, he saw farmersharvesting wild Salicornia plants. Last fall he foundmillions of seeds in the Charleston area thatwere harvestable. Sam contacted the EastCooper Land Trust and received permission toplant the seeds on land that was virtuallyunusable. He plans to use solar poweredirrigation to pump seawater onto the degradedmarsh.

“I’ve got a long way to go,” Sam said. “I need toprovide thousands of pounds of sea pickle,harvest it mechanically, and mow it three or fourtimes. Then it seeds itself. There are several stepsto get to that point.”

Sam plans to team up with oyster farms, whichare next to salt water. “We can take their waterand irrigate with it,” he said. Some restaurants areeager to use his sea pickles. From June toOctober, Sam hopes to put a small harvest intothe hands of local chefs. His end goal is specialtyvegetables.

Sam will use funding from ACRE for productdevelopment and research. “We want to make itconsistent, to start a new kind of farming,” he said.

Dr. Janice Ryan-Bohac, CAREnergy Dr. Ryan-Bohac is passionate about

sweetpotatoes. As the CEO of CARE Farms anda sweetpotato breeder for 29 years, her goal is torecruit a company to make sweetpotato chips and

fries in SouthCarolina.

She explainedthat four largecompanies makes w e e t p o t a t ofries, and severals m a l l e rcompanies makes w e e t p o t a t oc h i p s . T h eproblem is thatt h e “ sy ru p y ”f r e sh ma rke tsweetpotato liket h e p o p u l a rCovington varietydoes not fry well.When a potatois fried, all thewater boils offand is replacedby oil.

T h a n k s t oDr. Ryan-Bohac’s research and testing, she nowhas what she describes as “excellent commercial

candidates for making attractive chips and fries,with mealy texture and less oil.”

A nutritious “super food,” sweetpotatoes are theseventh largest crop in the world. “Developmentof a sweetpotato fry and chip as a nutritiousalternative is logical,” she explained.

The companies that make chips and frieshave many problems with sweetpotatoes.Dr. Ryan-Bohac breeds improved varieties fornew markets and processing.

“If we increase consumption by having a betterproduct, that leads to increased consumerdemand. With varieties bred specially for fries andchips, we can get contracts with farmers to growthem, then we can get a processing facility inSouth Carolina,” she said.

One of Dr. Ryan-Bohac’s selected breedinglines is ready to go commercial. She is growing3,000 pounds for test markets. If the varietyis licensed, farmers could grow them for chipcompanies.

“They need a more suitable variety, and that’swhat I’ve got. These are bred especially for chipsand fries. It’s taken 10 years to develop thevariety,” Dr. Ryan-Bohac said. She is makingsamples for test marketing for a pilot French fryplant.

Dr. Ryan-Bohac will use ACRE funding tocourt chip and fry companies by going to foodconventions to meet potential investors.

Robbie Weathers, Southern Crop SolutionsSouthern Crop Solutions is a precision ag

company that specializes in implementingtechnology solutions for growers.

For example, Southern Crop Solutions caninstall auto steering systems on tractors, improveplanter performance, set up yield monitors, andinstall product application control systems. Theyoffer precision soil sampling and install soilmoisture probes so growers can determine theirwater needs in specific locations.

“We can analyze this information to show thegrower what worked and what didn't work for theiroperation,” Robbie explained.

He has been doing precision ag work since2003 and started his company in 2015. Thefunding Robbie receives from ACRE will be usedto hire people. “We need a stream of employeesthat are trained adequately. Keeping it running iswhere the challenge is.”

Industrial Hemp continued from page 1

the psychoactive substance inmarijuana. Legally, hempmust contain no more than.03 percent THC.

Industrial hemp has a longhistory in the United States,having first been plantedprobably as early as the1600s. After a 1930 lawsimilar to the ControlledSubstances Act banned hempfor the first time in this country,the crop made a strongcomeback during World WarII, because it could be usedfor wartime supplies andmaterials. The 1970 banremained in place until 2014,when Congress includedlanguage in that year’s farmbill allowing states toreintroduce hemp throughstate-authorized programs.

The old saying everythingold is new again seemsapropos as we begin thesecond year of SouthCarolina’s Industrial HempPilot Program. Although it’stoo early to know how our first20 growers will fare with theircrops, all of us involved in theprocess are optimistic that thisold/new crop could bring newopportunity to our ruralfarmers and counties.
