Peanut Money-Maker
Production Guide
Production Guide
The keys to high quality, two-ton plus peanuts are:
- A well drained soil
- Suitable rotation crops – cotton, corn or other grasses
- Water during pod fill
- Good harvest weather
- Timely management operations.
This is a guide for making timely peanut management decisions. The intention is to lay out a step-by-step “game plan” for peanut production under South Carolina conditions, and to provide growers, county agents, private consultants, and industry representatives with a reference that will answer most practical questions about peanut production.
