Heat Can Increase Risk for Certain Diseases in Peanut

Heat Can Increase Risk for Certain Diseases in Peanut

By Pam Knox

According to my friends on the UGA Peanut Team in Extension, the recent run of high temperatures has caused peanut diseases to appear and expand in this year’s crops. I have seen a number of pictures of different symptoms appear in my social media feeds, with warnings of more to come. Morning Ag Clips posted a story this week discussing some of the diseases that peanut farmers are likely to see and what they can do to control them. Even with the little bit of rain that may occur this week, relatively high temperatures are likely to occur, although I think it will cool off a bit.

We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!


A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
