Peanuts Rise as Cotton Weevil Threat Shifts South
The boll weevil threat prompts farmers in the cotton belt to diversify into peanuts and stock-raising. Experts from Clemson and the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry note peanuts improve soils by fixing nitrogen, offer cash value both as a crop and livestock feed, and may fetch rising prices as cotton seed oil declines. Lime, phosphate, and balanced fertilization are urged for best yields. Peanut markets, pork production potential, and refinery demand bolster the outlook for next year.
