URGENT UPDATE: The Georgia Peanut Commission has just announced that the highly anticipated Research Report Day will take place on February 4, 2026, starting at 9 a.m. at the National Environmentally Sound Production Agriculture Laboratory (NESPAL) on the University of Georgia Tifton campus, located at 2360 Rainwater Road.
This critical event invites growers and industry representatives to discover the latest findings from 2025 peanut research projects funded by the GPC. Attendees will gain insights into innovative techniques aimed at reducing production costs and enhancing agronomic practices.
“The commission works to wisely invest peanut farmers’ dollars into research projects across Georgia,” stated Donald Chase, GPC chairman. “Although some findings are preliminary, the projects are exciting, providing new recommendations and observations that can significantly benefit our farmers.”
In a remarkable investment, the GPC awarded $769,129 to peanut research facilities throughout the state last year, supporting 40 research projects at esteemed institutions including the University of Georgia, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Kennesaw State University, North Carolina State University, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. The research primarily focuses on critical areas such as peanut breeding, conservation methods, irrigation and water management, alongside pest, weed, and disease management.
For those unable to attend, all research reports will be made available online following the event, ensuring that the vital information reaches all stakeholders in the peanut industry. The agenda for the day can be accessed at www.gapeanuts.com.
This event is set to be a pivotal moment for peanut growers across Georgia, with potential implications for the entire agricultural sector. As the industry anticipates exciting developments, this Research Report Day promises to be a must-attend for anyone invested in the future of peanut production.
Stay tuned for updates as we approach this important day in agriculture!
