Ever wondered how farmers know when peanuts are ready to harvest? Join us for Peanut Pod Blasting at Golden Grove Peanut Farms (1180 Stanley Chapel Church Rd, Mt. Olive, NC 28365). This hands-on demonstration shows how specialists examine peanut pods to determine maturity and the best time for harvest.

The event will be held on September 10, 17, and 24 at 9:00 AM. It’s a unique opportunity to see the science behind peanut farming up close, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of one of our region’s most important crops. Please call Daryl Anderson if you plan on bringing your own sample (919)921-1866.
