Profit in Peanuts Expands Beyond Southern States
Government experts say peanuts can be grown where corn thrives, expanding beyond the South. In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas growers will plant triple last year’s acreage, with estimates of 100000 acres. Peanuts resist pests, pay better than cotton in the Southwest, and peanut oil rivals olive and cottonseed oils, offering new market potential and processing at cotton oil mills.
