Op-Ed: Protecting American Beer Means Protecting Lowcountry Farmers

Long before Georgetown County became known for its beaches and golf courses, it was farm country. In the 1800s, the rice plantations along the Waccamaw, Pee Dee, and Sampit rivers made this one of the most productive agricultural regions in America, and farming has been central to the life of the Lowcountry ever since. My family's roots here go back generations, and like a lot of local families, our story is tied to the land.

'A perfect connection': SC State University celebrates acquisition of historic Horry County farm

MYRTLE BEACH — It was a quintessential South Carolina day in the fall: flawless blue sky, morning temperatures comfortable in the mid-60s and soil tilled for harvest. On a nearby wooden post sat a crow — arranging its plumage before flicking across those cultivated fields. It easily could have been any afternoon in the newly emancipated South, save for the cameras and cellphones lined up to catalogue S.C. State University's formal acquisition of Freewoods Farm: A living history campus devoted to telling the story of post-emancipation Black agriculture and the only one of its kind in the nation...

Horry Co. reconsidering mining regulations 6 years after dropping local permits

Horry County’s Infrastructure and Regulation Committee is reconsidering local mining regulations after the county dropped its local permit in 2020. The county was involved in a federal lawsuit in 2017 after a mine received state permits and was denied a permit from the county. The county’s mining permit was found to be conflicting with state law, and it ultimately eliminated all local regulations. Mining permits for locations in Horry County are at complete discretion of the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services. After years of controversy from mines popping up in residents’ backyards , the Infrastructure and Regulation Committee asked county staff to discuss options for local regulations to better protect existing residential areas without interfering with state permitting decisions. The most flexible option would be to implement a floating zone, which “floats” in the county’s municipal code until a property owner or developer applies to use it for a specific project. The floating zone would have fixed regulations within it, such as buffer requirements. Committee members also expressed the need to mine in the county for fill dirt, especially with the amount of ongoing development and infrastructure upgrades. Why is Horry County discussing local mining regulations? A recent application
