Fewer Peanut Acres as Alabama Farmers Eye Next Year
Alabama farmers scale back cotton and peanut plantings for 1950, cutting cotton from 1,810,000 to 1,570,000 acres and peanuts from 397,000 to 275,000. Experts urge a shift to livestock with more milk, meat, and eggs. County agents plan grass sessions to tailor county plans, promoting a balance between livestock and crops. Foreseeable fencing and pasture improvements, plus more breeding stock, are key hurdles to rapid livestock growth.
