Hi, can you send me an e-mail when the 2009 peanut tour has a fixed date? I’d like to come down for a visit if possible.
Thanks,

I am writing some memoirs concerning my father, Frank Perkins, Sr. He worked most of his career as engineer for the Southern Cotton Oil Company, based in Atlanta, Georgia, which operated peanut shelling plants as well as cotton seed processing plants
Do you have any information about the history of this company?
Do you have any pictures of the machinery used for peanut processing in the 1930′s and 1940′s?

Thanks for your response. We do not have any photos of machinery used for peanut processing in the 1930s and 40s. You may want to contact the American Peanut Shellers Association at http://www.peanut-shellers.org/ or the American Peanut Council at https://www.peanutsusa.com/.
