Fantastic peanut profits seen possible in South Texas
The Abilene Reporter-News reprints Ray Martin’s account of Dr. AL Harrison of Texas A&M Yoakum detailing how Frio County peanut growers could net up to 500 dollars per acre with optimal planting and harvest, modern methods, and disease control. He cites ten years of improved yields from 10 million to 45 million pounds and grade gains from 65 to 75 percent, thanks to ridge row methods, irrigation, fertilizers, and new chemicals. Larry Womack heads the De Leon Young Farmers Chapter, which hosted a barbecue as part of the meeting.
