Just in time for the harvest season, the Alabama Peanut Producers Association (APPA) has launched a billboard campaign promoting the health benefits of peanuts.

The billboards read: “Farmers are digging the peanuts. People are digging the protein.” The signs have been placed in two prominent peanut-growing regions of the state – Dothan and Mobile, and are in high-traffic areas.

The project is being funded by the National Peanut Board and coordinated by APPA staff. “This is a great example of how growers can share their nutritious message to thousands of motorists on a daily basis, while they themselves are in high gear harvesting this year’s peanut crop,” said Randy Griggs, APPA executive director.

Dothan area billboards are located on Highway 231 S, 431 N, and 84 W near Brannon Stand Road. The Mobile billboard is on I-10 E near the Loxley-Hwy 59 exit. When approaching one of the billboard vicinities, look for the sign that promotes a vital commodity to Alabama and our nation…..Peanuts: Energy for the good life!
