Interested in Growing Grapes Commercially? There is an increased interest in the commrcial production of grapes in the Piedmont area of South Carolina. In fact a great many folks in this area of the state have gone into grape pro duction in the past few years. So far, there has not developed a stable and satisfactory market for grapes produced in this area. Now, however, acompany is in terested in locating a grape juice processing plant in this area if sufficient production can be assur ed. Therefore, a grape marketing association, a cooperative project is being formed to determine if there can be sufficient production of grapes in this area to supply such a proposed plant. If anyone in Newberry County is interested in growing grapes commercially, we would like for them to contact us regarding fur ther details of this marketing as sociation now being formed.
