From bees to beans, South Carolina Farm Bureau really is ALL about agriculture. We have twenty advisory committees to ensure that all kinds of farms are represented both in Columbia and in Washington, D.C.
These committees are made up of our best-informed farmer members with extensive knowledge of agricultural issues and provide an opportunity to discuss and recommend solutions in pursuit of policy implementation.
