Marion County Extension Coordinator, Roger D. Sinyard, gave an update to the Georgia Peanut Tour attendees on peanut production in his county. This year farmers have planted a total of 1,400 acres of peanuts with 40% of the crop irrigated and 60% dryland. This year farmers in Marion County have had to face severe drought and hot temperatures. This has caused the peanuts planted on non-irrigated land to not produce as well as irrigated peanuts. Sinyard is expecting farmers to produce around 3,500 tons this season. Marion County also produces of corn, soybeans, wheat, and grain sorghum.
