Farm show in Albany Jan. 17 Producers can fine-tune their farming operations with information gained at the 32nd annual Georgia Peanut Farm Show Jan. 17 at the Albany Civic Center in Albany. The show is sponsored by the Georgia Peanut Commission in cooperation with the University of Georgia. During this year's show Kelley Manufacturing Company is providing the grand door prize of one season's use of a new four or six row peanut combine, valued at $10,000. The one-day show offers farmers a full day to view the products and services of more than 65 exhibitors and an afternoon of education. The show opens at 8:30 a.m. with door prize registration and closes at 3:30 p.m. with the announcement of the grand door prize winner. The Georgia Peanut Commission will present a short program beginning at 11 a.m. that will cover award presentations and other special recognitions. A free luncheon will follow for all peanut farmers in attendance and an opportunity for farmers to win more than $30,000 in door prizes. The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service will present educational peanut production seminars throughout the day focusing on weed management, disease management, rotation and nutrient management, climate data for production decisions and economics of peanut production. Growers who participate in the peanut production seminars will earn credit towards pesticide certification.
