Landowners in Clarendon County will be given the opportunity to discover various ways they could enhance their land, methods to increase profitability, start agricultural businesses and conservation planning through a webinar workshop hosted by South Carolina Association for Community Economic Development.
Clarendon County's virtual workshop that is hosted via Zoom will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. May 4. To register for the workshop, log onto https://sclandownerworkshop.eventbrite.com. The workshop will feature USDA District Conservationists from the Clarendon County region.
"Black farmers and landowners do not historically participate in these programs because of trust issues with the government," said SCACED's rural prosperity coordinator Ken Harvin. "However, South Carolina has made significant efforts to increasing funding opportunities to underserved populations."
