Peanuts anyone?

[Mr E]

My neighbor that farms the field here, plowed up the peanuts today. Looks like a good turnout.

For as dry as it has been, that is a lot of "penders" Mr. E.

Here are a few pictures of the harvesting process. The farmer's tractors are older "classics" for the most part. They are all red, and still run excellent.


































Wouldn't be complete without a couple of videos.

There wasn't much in the way of commerical peanut production here, if you went north past Greenville NC you began to see some....anyhow in the last 5 years or so peanut production has shifted to our area. THey have just about finished picking them down here. One farmer had a new or nearly new self-propelled peanut combine. I saw it running in the field a couple days ago, of course no camera! Pretty impressive rig. It would take a lot of Jif or Peter Pan to pay for a rig like that.....

Haven't planted any peanuts in the garden the last couple years but I need to.....I love a green peanut almost as good as a boiled or roasted one.

The stuff they were rolling up, is that used for straw or is it good hay/forage/feed?

It can be used as feed for cattle.
