I will be holding Peanut Hull Scrape Clinics at Davis Farm & Garden on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until noon beginning on August 22nd. There will be NO hull scrape clinic on August 29th or September 5th. If your peanuts are 110 to 120 days old, it is a good time to see where they stand. To help with determining maturity, a list of currently grown varieties in Georgia is below. Actual maturity is dependent on season long environmental conditions.
Variety | Maturity | Day Range | Type | Seed Size |
Georgia-06G | medium | 135-140 | runner | large |
Georgia-09B | medium | 135-140 | high-oleic runner | medium |
Georgia-12Y* | medium to late | 140+ | runner | medium |
Georgia-13M* | medium to late | 140+ | high-oleic runner | small |
Tifguard | medium | 135-140 | runner | medium |
TUFRunner 297 | medium to medium late | 135-145 | high-oleic runner | extra large |

Letters went out to all peanut growers on Friday with details on pulling a good peanut sample.
