Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:02:35 CST

After a year of record-setting weather and record-setting markets, peanut producers are making production plans for 2012.

For many producers there is no better way to start than by attending the Oklahoma Peanut Expo. This year's expo is coming up on March 16th at Quartz Mountain Resort.

The expo will be preceded by the 67th Annual TX/OK Seed Quality Meeting.

This year's program promises to be timely and the topics addressed reflect issues bound to affect operations statewide.

U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe will be one of the program's highlights. As ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, Senator Inhofe will bring a "front-line" perspective on the EPA's apparent warzone mentality towards agriculture.

--Peanut Market Outlook -- Tyron Spearman, Editor of Peanut Market News, Tifton, Georgia.
--OSU Peanut Team - Recipe for Success in 2012; Featuring tips on production varieties, disease and weed control and the latest field technology.
