Peanut Growers Given A Boost In 1955 Acreage
The Agriculture Department authorized peanut growers to raise 1955 acreage allotments by 7 percent due to a very small carry from the 1954 crop and expected weaker 1955 yields. The marketing quota rises from 745,600 to 796,145 tons, increasing each grower’s allotment by about 74 percent. The national allotment remains at 1,160,000 acres and full expansion depends on grower uptake. Supports for the 1955 crop are planned between 82 and 90 percent of parity, likely near 90 percent.
