Farmers Peanut Market, Inc. has been working hard getting ready for the peanut season.  General Manager Joe Long said, "Even though peanuts are just being planted, it takes a while to get our facility ready to receive peanuts.  Starting early ensures a ready facility that hopefully will provide fast and friendly service to our customers."  As farm equipment continues to get larger, the Peanut Market has to be ready for new equipment and farming methods.  Starting slowly and working on one large item at a time keeps the cost under control while still enabling quality service.  This year, the Peanut sampler has been raised by three feet to prepare for the van type trailers that many producers are heading towards.  Farmers Peanut Market can now sample both the small traditional peanut drying trailer as well as the large van type drying trailers.  This gives producers the choice of how to bring their peanuts to market and helps to provide better service.  While working on the sampler, a new flagpole was also erected.  Farmers Peanut Market, Inc. salutes those that serve our country and certainly wants the community to know how much they are appreciated.
