American Peanut Council Sustainability Initiative. We are needing Oklahoma peanut growers to help with the initiative, go to the APC Sustainability Grower Toolkit (below) to learn more. The initiative provides much needed information that assists in obtaining export U.S. markets for peanuts. Peanuts are one of the most sustainable crops and our customers are wanting information on the sustainability of peanut production. Participating in this program provides factual data that can be used to contradict rumors and false media. Go to the APC Grower Toolkit on how to get started. We need more Oklahoma peanut growers to participate.
