Peanut Varieties for Organic

If you are interested in growing organic peanuts, they are a great crop and an excellent rotation to other non-legume crops. Fortunately, peanut varieties have never been developed with genetic engineering and so there is no worry about that issue.  The potential is there for breeders, but the industry has stayed away from that type of breeding because of consumer preferences.  Be sure that any seed treatments applied are OMRI approved and okayed by your certifier.
