Subject: Re: Growing peanuts in Iowa??



The plant just shuts down and quits feeding the nuts. FROST is death on a peanut. However, if you are still harvesting and have the likelyhood of a freeze event you would rather have the peanut in the ground. If it has already been inverted and a heavy frost or freeze hits it will rupture the oil cells in the nut and the peanut will not grade. I have seen it bad enough that even the goats turn there noses up at freeze damaged pnuts.
