The 56th Annual APRES Meeting was held in Oklahoma City. It was a well-attended conference with researchers from all of the peanut producing states making presentations on their latest research projects.  Dr. Rebecca Bennett USDA-ARS in Stillwater, OK was elected President.


The event kicked off with a pre-conference tour of Oklahoma Peanut Production.  Starting at the Merlin Schantz Farm and moving to the Birdsong Buying Point in Eakly and then to the Caddo Research Station for lunch (sponsored by Helena) and updates from the OSU Department Heads as well as a look at some of the research plots on the station.  Then the tour concluded with a visit to Gunter Peanut in Binger.
