Barnes, a peanut farmer from Dinwiddie County, Virginia, is a graduate of Dinwiddie County High School and has been farming since 1962. Mr. Barnes and his wife Margie have three children and two grandchildren. Russell C. Schools will serve as Program Director. We also invite other members of the peanut industry and support organizations. I look forward to her comments.
Planters is a major buyer of our peanuts and has launched new promotional programs.
Peanut Field Day is sponsored jointly by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, North Carolina State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Agricultural Research Service and the North Carolina Peanut Growers Association. Following lunch, a field tour will include four research stops, all addressing major concerns of peanut growers.
