Include me in on this. One of my farms is participating in a catfacing
study (with Extension). Scarabs (chewing) and plantbugs (piercing) are hard
to control using selective materials. I am now tending toward use of
covercrops that discourage scarabs and promote plantbug and scarab natural
enemies (mixed grasses and broadleaves), although I am far from anything
resembling certainty.

Sincerely,

I am interested in information about organically growing peaches for
market in the South Carolina.
Does anyone have experience or references that I might draw from?
Although I'm in the southeast, info about growing market-quality
peaches ANYWHERE in the US would be welcome.
Thanks to anyone with input!
