Summary
South Carolina’s farmers are reeling from a historic drought and scorching heat that’s turned crops to dust—corn fields are barren, water systems are under strain, and wildfires loom as officials urge extreme caution. With record rainfall deficits and 36 counties in severe drought, third-generation farmer William Koger says this is the worst season he’s ever seen, his cash flow evaporating and loans looming for next year. Experts warn relief won’t come quick—only sustained rain, maybe from an El Niño, can break the cycle. For now, farmers cling to hope, one ear of corn at a time.
