And just like that, it’s back to school time. As you gear up for another school year of early mornings, homework and extracurricular activities, don’t forget the power of peanuts to keep your kiddos at the top of their game, both mentally and physically. Be sure to check out The Peanut Institute and National Peanut Board for more information on peanut health benefits for school aged children and how peanuts and peanut products can be safely included in schools. Happy learning!

The early bird gets the worm. That’s why we’ve opened enrollment early for the Sustainable U.S. Peanuts Initiative’s ‘24 crop. Before harvest is in full swing, growers can visit sustainableuspeanuts.org to enroll in the initiative or update their information from prior enrollment. Questions? Contact Allie Randell at arandell@peanutsusa.com.

A former FFA leader and lifelong supporter of the organization, APC's Richard Owen met with National FFA Organization state and national officers last week in Washington, D.C. The future of agriculture is in great hands, he says!
I always enjoy the opportunity to talk about my agriculture journey, so I jumped at the chance to be on a panel in front of state and national FFA officers last week at their summer conference in DC. This 'Perspectives Panel' covered a range of topics, including industry challenges, creating understanding and motivation to serve agriculture. This crop of FFA leaders did not disappoint in their enthusiasm for the future. The next generation of agriculture is in good hands! National FFA Organization, #peanutsusa, #FeedingtheFuture, Morgan Anderson
