The 2015 Southern Peanut Growers Conference kicked off Thursday, July 23 at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA. Hundreds of growers from across the peanut producing states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi are attending the three-day educational meeting. 
The first general session, “Research: The Future is Now,” featured a panel of researchers who discussed issues that growers may be dealing with in the coming years.
