To talk about the 2020 peanut seed crop, he said, it's relevant to recall the 2019 crop. Adverse weather during the fall harvest in 2019 led to problems with Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger, which then led to seed quality problems going into the 2020 planting season in April and May. "Yes, we have these problems every once in a while, but last year (2019) going into the 2020 growing season was one of the worst I've ever seen, but you have to keep that kind of off by itself because, though it caused major issues, it was an unusually bad situation," he said. At this time, it looks like overall peanut quality in the Southeast was considerably better in 2020.
