Are you an agribusiness entrepreneur whowould benefit from mentoring, funding andaccess to investors? The Agribusiness Center forResearch and Entrepreneurship (ACRE), a newinitiative of the SC Department of Agriculture,is looking for you.

Applications for the ACRE EntrepreneurshipProgram are open to South Carolina residentswho have an agribusiness product or acompany related to the following categories:

• Specialty crops (fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, nursery crops)

• Other foods (honey, cheese, milk, eggs)• Row crops • Aquaculture • Timber • Mechanical harvesting • Agribusiness technology • ProteinSouth Carolina is ripe with budding

entrepreneurs who have new and innovativeideas. “We’re seeking the most innovativeand forward thinkers in South Carolinaagribusiness,” said Jack Shuler, ACRE ExecutiveDirector. “The Entrepreneurship program will helpposition companies and products in the marketplace through collaboration, networking andfunding.”

Those selected to participate in the programcould receive up to $25,000 for their company orproduct and access to a network of mentors,grant-writing consultants and investors.

ACRE’s Entrepreneurship Center will servethis audience with two tracks. Track 1 is forentrepreneurs who, with the assistanceof mentors or investors, are ready to taketheir products to the market. ACRE will use aprocess similar to the popular television showwhere successful business mentors help opendoors and provide advice and financialassistance.

ACRE will add a second track in late 2018for innovators who have an idea but don’thave experience in business. This track will offerparticipants a curriculum in business planningand marketing.

“Ultimately the ACRE Entrepreneurship Centeris about South Carolina’s economic prosperityand specifically, growing the economic impact ofthe state’s largest industry – agribusiness,” saidSC Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers.“ACRE will link farming, agribusiness, researchand entrepreneurship and will help us achieveour 50 by 20 goal.”

South Carolina agribusiness has an annualeconomic impact of $42 billion. SCDA hopes toincrease that impact to $50 billion by 2020.

The entrepreneurship program applicationrequires a business plan and a prototype or saleshistory. Applications are due Monday, April 16 andare available at www.Acre-sc.com.

For more information on the entrepreneurshipcenter and other ACRE initiatives, contactKyle Player, ACRE Project Coordinator, at803-734-2324 or [email protected].

Poultry Feedsour Economyand the World

As diets improve aroundthe world, demand for proteinwill double worldwide by2025. A new poultry law,passed by the Legislature andsigned by Governor McMasterearlier this month, willenable South Carolina’spoultry farmers and workersto help feed the world andalso help improve our state’srural economy.

You probably know thatpoultry farming is bigbusiness in South Carolina.We rank 13th in thenation for broiler production,17th in the nation for eggproduction and 8th in thenation for turkey production.Quail and other poultryindustries account for morethan 9 million birds raisedin our state. All of thesenumbers add up tojobs – approximately 7,500jobs in South Carolina,not including positionsin related industries likepackaging, refrigeration andconstruction.

While the poultry industryhas been good to the SouthCarolina economy, SouthCarolina’s regulations havenot been terribly friendly topoultry expansion. We lagbehind every other statein the Southeast because ourpermitting process for poultryhouses takes much longerhere than it does, say, inneighboring North Carolinaand Georgia. Last fall Tysonannounced a large expansionin Tennessee; South Carolinawasn’t even consideredbecause of our permittingprocess.

Poultry Feedscontinued from page 1

Poultry companies wil lconsider South Carolina onlyif they know they can getfarmers to build new poultryhouses in a known timeperiod. Until passage of thisnew legislation, the law wasunclear on a timeframe forboth the permitting processand the appeals process forpoultry expansion projects.The new law clarifies bothprocesses.

Don’t get me wrong – I’mwell aware of the emotionalarguments that went into thelegislative debate and publiccoverage of this new law.I testified at the committeehearings and watched thedebate in the legislature. Thetruth is, our poultry farmersknow that good communityrelations and responsiblegrowth are necessary fortheir success.

Poultry is a popular,low-cost protein that helpsfeed South Carolina andcan help feed the world.I ’m hopeful that SouthCarolina will now becomemore competit ive in thisgrowing industry as a resultof the new poultry law. Wecertainly have some catchingup to do.
