Collapse ▲I received a question about depth of planting. My recommendation is to plant at least 2 inches deep but don’t be afraid to plant peanuts 3 inches deep. In fact, several years ago we planted seed 1, 2, 3, and almost 4 inches deep. Peanuts at seeding depths of 1, 2, and 3 inches emerged on the same day. Peanuts in the deepest planting (the planter couldn’t quite get to 4 inches,) emerged only a day or two later than the other peanuts at shallower plantings. If you can plant to moisture, I would keep planting and not be concerned about going 3 inches deep to get to the moisture. Keep in mind that a peanut seedling coming out of the ground has some size to it, so the green tissue will emerge similarly with the 1, 2, and 3 inch depths in many cases.
It’s always hard to know when to say stop planting when it is dry. We are still in April (last day of the month when I am writing this,) so if you are out of moisture completely and you don’t think you will get a stand, you might be best served by waiting until fields get rain. We still have a full month ahead of us. When we get peanuts planted in May, we typically observe similar yields across the entire month. Of course, in any given year we might observe some differences. But across years and circumstances, we do okay with peanuts when we get them planted in May.
