In the links below, you’ll find pod blasting images from September 12th from Como, Murfreesboro, and Gates (In-Furrow Product Test). The link for the Hertford County Peanut Variety Trial shows images of maturity progression from September 3rd to September 10th.

The 10 day forecast temperatures will average about 14.75 GDD. Theoretically it takes about 100 GDD per week to move peanuts 1 section on the maturity board (ie orange to red or red to black) if under optimal conditions.

Be sure to be scouting as we're having optimal conditions for Sclerotinia blight.

The next pod blast date will be on September 20th at Coastal Agrobusiness in Murfreesboro at 10:00 a.m. Feel free to bring any any samples that you would like to check.
