[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the percentage of farms in South Carolina, we divide the number of farms in South Carolina (24,000) by the total number of farms in the United States (2,172,000) and then multiply by 100:

(24,000 / 2,172,000) * 100 ≈ 1.107307 %

Rounding to the nearest whole percent, the answer is 1%.
