Glenn Lee Chase, farmer from Macon County, Ga., showcases how to dig peanuts to the Georgia Peant Tour. Chase is using GPS autosteer and also has a mower attached to the front of the tractor that cuts the top of the peanut plants prior to digging. The Chase farm has applied this technique to help the peanut vines stand up better in the field after digging.
