This pivotal event is set to provide peanut growers and industry representatives with crucial insights into the latest research projects funded by the GPC throughout 2025. According to Donald Chase, chairman of the Georgia Peanut Commission, “The commission works to wisely invest peanut farmers’ dollars into research projects across Georgia to reduce production input costs and improve agronomic techniques.”
The GPC has allocated a substantial $769,129 to support 40 research projects at institutions including the University of Georgia, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Kennesaw State University, North Carolina State University, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. These projects focus on critical areas such as peanut breeding, conservation methods, irrigation and water management, as well as the management of pests, weeds, and diseases.
Attendees can look forward to exciting preliminary findings, with many new recommendations and observations expected to be announced during the event. The complete agenda for the GPC Research Report Day is readily available online at www.gapeanuts.com, and all research reports will be accessible on the website following the event.
This annual gathering not only highlights advancements in peanut research but also signifies a commitment to enhancing the sustainability and productivity of peanut farming in Georgia. The implications of these developments are significant for the agricultural community, making it essential for stakeholders to participate and engage with the latest findings.
