Varieties
Virginia
When you picture a peanut, you're probably seeing a Virginia. Their large size and thick shell make them ideal for in-shell roasting; usually, the bigger, the better. Next time you're at the ballpark, enjoy your Virginia peanuts!
We select new varieties adapted for use in both shelled and in-shell markets. We select for a wide range of in-shell sizes as well as excellent adaptation for production in different environments (yield, vigor, maturity, etc.)
ACI 442
This is an early- to mid-maturity, high-oleic Virginia variety with excellent yield potential in the SW U.S. It has a nice, bright hull color, and equal proportion of Jumbo and Fancy pods.
Runner
Runner peanuts are the bread and (peanut) butter of the industry... They produce good, consistent yields that make them a favorite for most farmers and butter manufacturers.
Our program focuses on high yield and grade, with an emphasis on early-maturity. We also select for characteristics like a high proportion of medium kernels (+18/64"), multiple pest and pathogen resistance, and good roasted flavor.
IPG 517
*Organic Runner Option
A medium/late-maturing, high-oleic runner-type variety with excellent yield and grade potential and adaptation for production in the U.S. Mid-South and Southwest, as well as other semi-arid climates. This variety combines excellent yield and grade potential with moderate TSWV resistance. IPG 517 has also performed well in certified-organic systems in the U.S. Southwest.
Spanish
If you've eaten a candy bar, chances are, you've eaten a Spanish peanut. Great peanut flavor and kernel appearance make this type a great ingredient for confectionary use.
