The U. S. Department of Agri

support level for Virginia type
peanuts at $213.93 per ton. This I
announcement was based on the
supply situation as determined
as of August Ist and will be
the price per average ton of
Virginia type peanuts under the
price support program for this
marketing season.
The figure, $213 93. is the sup
port level and not the loan lev
el. The loan level, as comput
ed for an average ton of Vir
ginia type* peanuts, is support
less $9.18 per ton. which covers
storage*, inspection charges, and’
handling charges. An average
ton of Virginia type peanuts is
figured to have a grade of 67’ ’ •
sMK's, 32% Extra Large, and
4\ 7 damaged and other ker
nels. Using these grades, the
value of a ton of meat content
will be $193.29 and the extra
large* premium would be $12.80,
making a total of $206.09 p-r
