The 27th annual Georgia Peanut Tour will be held in south Georgia, Sept. 17-19th. Started as an effort to attract more buyers to the state, the tour is an opportunity for industry leaders and farmers to showcase the crop’s quality and planting and how peanuts are handled post-harvest.
The tour also gives University of Georgia peanut scientists a chance to showcase the latest research being conducted in an industry that generated more than $580 million in 2011, according to the Georgia Farm Gate Value Report.
