Bob Kemerait has been in the agriculture industry for many decades. After a difficult year in 2022, he says it’s important for farmers to get started off correctly.
ALBANY, Ga. - An agriculture expert says peanut farmers have a smaller window to plant their crop this year.
He speaks with farmers who tell him they are struggling. He conducted a survey with farmers and asked them about misconceptions about the industry. December temperatures fell to the lowest they have in decades. Kemerait said it wasn’t cold for long enough. Kemerait has seen farmers under more stress. He said this trend is likely because farm sizes are increasing and fewer workers are available to help. With a smaller window to plant, Kemerait expects farmers to be under high stress in early May when planting.
