These Statistics are collected and presented according to the Peanut Statistics
Act which requires shellers, crushers, and processors of raw peanuts to submit
periodic reports for their operations.  These reports are usually based on a
complete enumeration of all shellers and crushers and all of the larger
processors of raw peanuts.  However, reports are occasionally received too late
to be included in the first tabulation.  Allowances are made for these
missing reports and revised totals are published in the next report.
