Peanut Harvest Ready to Start- Mike Kubicek Says It Could Be REALLY Good.

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 6:41:29 CDT

Mike Kubicek with the Oklahoma Peanut Commission says it looks like the harvest season dead ahead may well be a good one for Oklahoma peanut producers. Kubicek was our guest on Saturday for our In the Field Segement as seen on KWTV, News9. We talked about this year's crop and about two Peanut Field Days planned for this week- one on Tuesday in Sayre and the second on Thursday in Ft. Cobb. Click here for details of those MORNING Field Days on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.


Highlights of this year's Field Days will include the Release of Red River Runner. "Hull blasting" will be avail­able at all locations, so farmers should bring a represen­tative sample of pods from the field to blast to determine maturity and anticipated digging dates.


Kubicek is especially high on the potential of the Red River Runner variety. It offers something for the producer, processor and end user. For the producer, it has a disease package that includes resistance to Sclerotinia Blight. It also offers the producer a high grading peanut, which can add a lot of dollars to the bottom line. For the processor, the shelf life is called outstanding, while the end user will enjoy the cholesterol free attributes.
