April 2025
Peanut Acres and EXPO. REE-NASS has estimated 20,000 acres of peanuts will be planted in 2025, I am estimating about 18,300 but we will not have final acreage reports until July. Contract prices were not what we hoped for, but all crop prices are down this year. Soil temperatures are warming up, I expect to see some April planted peanuts, but we will see what Mother Nature has to say about that.
I hope you got to attend the 2025 EXPO. We received some excellent information from Georgia Extension; Dr. Monfort explained the Peanut Grading Report and Dr. Abney taught us about Burrower Bugs. The Oklahoma Peanut Improvement team brought us up to date on new varieties, disease resistant varieties, weed control, and peanut disease control. Ashton Pellom with the National Peanut Board gave us an update and we asked Allie Randell to remind grower about the APC Sustainability program.
