No ‘Excess’ Or ‘Quota’
Peanuts This Year
There will be no marketing cards
and no “excess” or “quota” peanuts
this year, according to W. T. Parker,
manager of the Growers Peanut Co
operative, Inc. .
He went on to say, quoting J. B.
Hutson, president of the Commodity
Credit Corporation, that one or more
receiving points will be established to
each county having a peanut goal.
Farmers will market their peanuts
directly through shellers, oil mills or
cooperatives, end will be paid in cash
at the time of delivery.
There will be a one-price system
for all peanuts produced in 1943; the
O price will not be less than 85 percent
of parity on January 15, 1943, or on
July 16, 1943, whichever is higher.
With the parity price on January 15
this would mean an average price to
producers of not less than $129 per
ton for all types of peanuts.
“There is urgent need for all the
peanuts farmers can grow and each
farmer should plant as large an acre
age pf peanuts above his goal as he
can handle,” Mr. Parker said.
