Family Legacy of McLeod Farms in McBee, South Carolina
Brittney is visiting McLeod Farms in McBee, SC. McLeod Farms has been family-owned and operated since 1916, specializing in commercial peach production since the beginning. It is currently led by fourth-generation farmer Kemp McLeod, who learned the operation from his father Campbell.
Kemp’s son, Spencer, a fifth-generation farmer, is also very involved with the farm as they work together to incorporate new precision ag technologies into their operations with the goal of increasing production and sustainability.

- Row crops, such as cotton, soybeans, and corn
