For the first time ever, some farmers here planted peanuts as one of their cash crops.
For years it was soybeans, soybeans, soybeans, with a little milo mixed in.
Then in the mid to late 70s the rice allotment opened up and every one started growing rice.
It was pretty much rice and soybeans up until around 2000 when they tried corn here.
Well fast forward until this year, when after much propositioning 3 farmers decided to try peanuts after the peanut shortage last year.
For now harvest time has just started, but if things go anywhere close to how they have started, they re looking at making MORE $ per acre than ever before.
Well that holds true for the 2 farmers who took care of their peanuts and kept them clean from grass and weeds
Now for my story! The farmer across the road from me left 1 row when they started digging the peanuts. So now I have been pulling the peanuts he left (wih his permission) and now have peanuts out the WAZOO.
