Characteristics and Production Costs of U.S. Peanut Farms, 1991

摘要

This report compares selected farm characteristics and production costs amongpeanut producers. Producers are grouped according to variable cash expenses for peanut production, enterprise size, and production region. Data are from the peanut version of the 1991 Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS) of U.S. farms. Respondents to the peanut version of the 1991 FCRS represented 15,282 farms producing 4.8 billion pounds of peanuts on about 1.9 million acres. They represented 97 percent of U.S. peanut production and 95 percent of planted acreage. Peanut growers in other States were not surveyed because of their minor share of U.S. peanut production and limited survey budget.
