With commodity prices low, there will be some interest in planting a few more acres of peanuts. In some cases the additional plantings might be in fields with a less than ideal previous cropping sequence when it comes to peanuts. Use caution in fields with a significant amount of soybeans in the rotation. If you have a couple of years with corn or cotton between soybeans and peanuts, peanut yields will often be okay. There is less risk with 3 or more years, but the following slide shows the value of at least two years of cotton, even when there are multiple years of soybeans in the previous rotation. Of course, this depends on the history of disease and nematodes. The trial with the yields I am showing had some nematodes present.
