Under authorization the 64th Legislature and the Texas Commodity Referendum law, growers voted by more than a two-third margin to create the Texas Peanut Producers Board to administer the checkoff program.

Texas now has more then 350,000 planted acres - making us the nation's second largest peanut producing state.
Peanuts are a major part of Texas agriculture.
The Texas Peanut Producers Board is dedicated to improving peanut Producer income, peanut quality, and marketability through research, education, market development and Texas Peanut Promotion.
