Across the South are fields of corn that are baking in the humid heat of summer.  This field, with the silver roof of an old farmhouse in the background, is east of Denmark, S.C., along U.S. Highway 78.  Photo by Andy Brack.  All rights reserved.

It’s that time of year — the time of year that the land is producing acre upon acre of bountiful food. This corn field, along U.S. Highway 176 at the Calhoun-Orangeburg county line, illustrates the continuing importance of agribusiness to the Palmetto State. Coming soon: Fresh tomatoes, beans, squash and more. (Photo by Andy Brack)
