The 2024 Peanut Harvest Tour in Lubbock, Texas, cracked open a new perspective on the lovable legume! ? Over three days, attendees dug deep into the world of peanut farming, meeting the dedicated growers behind this sustainable U.S. crop.? Attendees, including dietitians, peanut brand business owners, and officials from a leading school district, walked away with profound insights into the advancements in peanut farming technology and research. Many were inspired by the crop’s impressive sustainability, learning that the peanut plant is zero-waste and that crop rotation and soil health checks are standard practices that keep the land vibrant. New discoveries in peanut breeding, such as manipulating genetics to boost protein content and developing varieties tailored to regional growth, showcased the innovation fueling the industry.
