Also, we need this information to look at\nproduction practices across the state and how producers have changed their\nmanagement to achieve these high yields. \nDeadline for entries into our office in Tifton is 5:00 PM FRIDAY, March\n27, 2020. Please send the entries to Debbie Rutland at 2360 Rainwater Road,\nTifton, GA 31793 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your interest and\nparticipation.

All entries\nwill report average yield per acre (lbs\/A) and be entered into one of three (3)\nacreage categories. The acreage categories will be as\nfollows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia\nPeanut Achievement Club Acreage Categories<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) 100 \u2013 299.9\nacres (2) 300\nto 699.9 acres<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 700 and up <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. There will\nbe one (1) state-wide winner for the 100 \u2013 299.9 acreage category, one (1)\nstate-wide winner for 300 \u2013 699.9 acreage category, one (1) state-wide winner\nfor 700 acreage and above category; and one (1) winner each within each\ndistrict for the 100 to 299.9 acreage category, 300 to 699.9 acreage category\nand the 700 plus acreage category for a total of fifteen (15) winners. Each county should submit their highest yield\nper acre for the 100 \u2013 299.9 acreage category; the 300 to 699.9 acreage\ncategory and the 700 plus acreage category. You can send more than 1 entry per category.\nIf a grower is the state winner the next highest yielding entry will become the\ndistrict winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Acreage planted must be certified by CFSA\nsmart card printout of each farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Acreage entered must include total acreage on all\nfarms and farm numbers farmed by a producer\/operator in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means every\nacre that a producer\/operator is involved in producing, including those acres\nin which the producer is listed as a\nco-producer. The exception would be if the other individual(s) listed as co-producer(s)\nentered the Georgia Peanut Achievement Club and included that acreage in their\nentry. If peanuts are produced in more\nthan one county, the producer will decide to which county his entry will be\nsubmitted. Minimum acreage required for entry is 100 acres. 6. The overall\nstate winner in the 100 \u2013 299.9, 300 \u2013 699.9, and 700 plus acreage categories\nwill be determined first. The district winners for the 100 \u2013 299.9, 300 \u2013 699.9\nand 700 plus acreage categories will be determined after determining the three overall\nstate winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Any\nproducer averaging 4000 pounds per acre on all farms can be entered into the\nGeorgia Peanut Achievement Club and can receive a\ncertificate. The minimum yield\nrequirement for acreage category 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n (700 acres plus) is 3500 pounds per acre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. In the event that an acreage category within\na district does not produce a yield of 4,000 pounds per acre or more (3500\nlbs\/A for the 700 plus acreage category), then the highest yield in that\nacreage category from all entries statewide will be declared the winner,\nprovided it exceeds 4,000 pounds per acre. \nIf there are no statewide entries\nwith a yield of 4,000 pounds per acre within that acreage category, then the\nnext highest yield statewide will be declared the winner if it meets the\nminimum acceptable yield as determined by the rules committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. The reported peanut production will not be\nseparated by peanut market type (runner, Virginia, Spanish, Valencia). For the purpose of the Peanut Achievement\nClub, market types are not treated separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Acreage and poundage entered must be listed\nwith the County Agent and acreage certified by CFSA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A complete record must be furnished by the\nCounty Extension Coordinator including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a)\nPlan for Determining Peanut Yields – Georgia Cooperative Extension Service\nform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n b) Georgia Peanut\nAchievement Club Production record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n c) Listing\nof buying point printouts by farm with corresponding net weights for\neach entry signed by\nCounty Extension Director and peanut producer. \nDo not send in sales receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. All yields\nwill be ascertained by use of the “Georgia Cooperative Extension Service\nPlan For<\/p>\n\n\n\n Determining Peanut Yields”. Yields must be verified by the County Agent,\nand he may use the <\/p>\n\n\n\n assistance of any qualified person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.

AWARDS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a)<\/strong> County Awards: Peanut Achievement Club certificates will be\nprovided to County Extension <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coordinators if\nthey have entrants that meet the stated production requirements and verification\nprocedures (see rule # 7). Local\nrecognition will be at the discretion of the County Extension Coordinator. County Awards should be administered at the\ncounty level, not through the State office in Tifton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n b)<\/strong> Peanut\nAchievement Club District Awards: The peanut producing area will be divided\ninto four Peanut Achievement Club districts. \nThe growers with the top yield per acre in the 100 \u2013 299.9 acreage\ncategory, 300 \u2013 699.9 acreage category and the 700 plus acreage category will receive\nplaques designating them Georgia Peanut Achievement Club district winners.
