Keep in mind that when night temperatures are in low 40&#8217;s for 3 nights in a row then peanut maturity slows down significantly.   Also our peanut variety trial was dug last Monday evening 10\/19.  Moisture was 28% the following Thursday 10\/22.  Today (Monday) it was 14%.   Should be 12% Wednesday and we&#8217;ll complete another peanut variety trial and have good data to share. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cotton Defoliation &#8211; Week of 10\/26\/26 Below is taken from comments from Dr. Camp Hand: This week looks nearly identical to last.
