This year’s Southern Peanut Growers Conference had several new supporting sponsors, including AgLeader Technology and DuPont.

With the use of precision technology becoming more prevalent among peanut growers, AgLeader’s Russ Morman (left) says being at the conference has been good for two reasons. “Number one, it’s certainly helped to educate us as to where the peanut industry is going and number two, it’s helped to show the growers in the area that AgLeader is definitely a big power in the precision ag industry and we’re here to help them out.”

DuPont is getting ready to introduce a new fungicide for peanut producers, as soon as it receives registration. “At DuPont we’re really excited about this new launch of Fontelis and what it can bring to peanut producers in particular,” says product manager David McAuliffe. “We expect registration to be in by the end of this year with the product to be available for use in the 2012 growing season.”

Listen to David tell you more about Fontelis in this interview.
