But Georgia has maintained a reputation for having the best, most consistent-tasting peanuts around because our growers get the crop in when it needs to come in. We need to continue doing this, because the peanut industry is competitive, and consumers will taste the difference.

Harvesting at optimal maturity is extremely important as far as flavor is concerned. We know from previous research and from the industry that when immature peanut kernels are processed, they develop a bitter or off-flavor taste.

Even though the correct pathway can be walked in only 15 to 20 minutes, most wandering maze-goers will require about one hour to travel through the maze,

Farmers and the peanut industry are always looking for more disease-resistant, higher-performing varieties.

They need moisture desperately, especially those (crops) that were planted early.

It's still the best way to know the maturity of peanuts.

It's hard to believe that this contest has been held for so many years,

I must admit I was surprised to finish so high up in a race of this class.

It has been ratified and Mark is rapt.
