Peanut Pegging

It is a bit interesting that every state, save Virginia, is barely at or obviously lagging behind the five year pegging average as of the most recent crop progress report.

I am not totally sure what this means and depending on the weather it could be good or bad. What is surprising is that as hot as it has been usually we would expect to be ahead of normal. The drought has had an impact on progress for sure but some effect may be planting date effect.

I would still contend this is the most difficult start to a crop in my 25 years as the Commission's Executive Director.
