Mary Katherine Harrington grew up on a traditional southern row cropping operation in Bamberg, South Carolina. Because of her enthusiasm and love for the American farmer, she attended Clemson University. She graduated in 2018, earning a degree in Agricultural Mechanization and Business, as well as a minor in Plant Environmental Science. Mary Katherine’s purpose for pursuing a degree in ag was not to become a farmer, but to aid other farmers.
Following graduation, Mary Katherine returned home to live on the family farm alongside her family and husband, where she serviced multiple lower state counties as the Clemson Cooperative Extension Row Crop Agent. MK made the decision to join the Silveus team in December of 2018. MK is fortunate to see and understand crop insurance from both the agent and farmer perspective. She and her family are located in Bamberg, SC still today where she her and husband are carrying her family farming operation to the sixth generation. She currently services growers in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
