Harvest is here! We are starting to see some Spanish peanuts being dug. Maturity Testing at the Caddo Station in Fort Cobb and at the Beckham County Fairgrounds in Sayre presented a few Spanish fields that were ready to dig. But most fields still needed a couple of weeks and late-planted fields even more days before digging. The cool weather did slow some maturity, but overall we did not have a hot, drought to cause a break in the maturity so it looks like yields will be very good. We did not see as much foliar disease as we expected but we are seeing a few fields with some significant pod rot. Over we are expecting an excellent harvest. FSA is reporting 17,756 acres certified for 2025. We are hoping for a smooth harvest and a late freeze!

Harvest seems to have gone pretty well, we did have a couple of nights of freezing weather but most people avoided any freeze damager. Just a note: we have postponed the Oklahoma Peanut Commission Quarterly Meeting from Dec. 4th to Dec. 10th due to possible bad weather.
