WASHINGTON (RFD-TV) — USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey says the nation’s peanut crop continues to make steady progress.
“Taking a look at the peanut numbers for the week ending July 19th, we passed the three-quarters mark during the week to reach 77% pegging. One point ahead of the five-year average, slightly behind last year’s progress. Peanut condition is slipping just a little bit overall. Sixty percent of the crop is currently rated good to excellent. That’s down a point from last week.”
As Rippey noted, 60 percent of the peanut crop is rated good to excellent, down one point from last week, while 7 percent is rated poor to very poor.
Meanwhile, in Georgia, the nation’s largest peanut producer, a reported 88 percent of its crop has now reached the pegging stage.
