Well that is what we are going to try to do at the 1998 Peanut Field Day. Dr. Johnny Wynne, Associate Dean and Director , North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, NCSU, will be our featured speaker. Dr. Wynne brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding of peanuts and knows firsthand what it takes to produce peanuts. A native of Martin County, NC, Dr. Wynne was the peanut breeder at NCSU before assuming his current position. Dr. Wynne will be looking into that crystal ball and trying to predict the future.
New technology includes transgenics, varietal resistance to disease and pests and new pesticides.
Also new varieties that focus on hull color, size, oil content and quality. Dr. Wynne will put all these areas into perspective and tell us how they will fit together to make peanut production successful in the future.
