Abstract

Report Introduction: In 1973, the Congress of the United States passed Public Law 93-86, the Agricultural and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. This law directed the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct cost of production studies on wheat, feed grains, cotton and dairy products. In response to this directive, the first surveys of cost of production were conducted in 1975. In 1978, an additional survey of peanut producers was conducted in six states including Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia. This survey obtained data on practices used by farmers in regard to seeding, fertilizing, chemicals, machinery use, and other practices in peanut production. This report presents data on production practices and the resulting cost of production for peanuts in Alabama and Georgia. The results for the other four states are available in separate reports.
