Everyone in the peanut industry likely knows Dr. Stanley Fletcher, a professor of policy at the Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. For almost 25 years, Dr. Fletcher’s job has been to analyze the costs of peanut production concerning yields and grade and evaluate the profitability of various production operations.
In order to do that, he finds representative farms in peanut states to get good, sound information about really what is happening on the ground on the farm. Four of those farmers came together on a panel with Dr. Fletcher during the Southern Peanut Growers Conference to talk about the experience. Listen to their conversation below.
