The Peanuts Ag Mag was written for elementary and middle school students. In this issue, students will learn about the history and origin of peanuts and how peanuts are grown, harvested, and sold. They will learn about the life cycle of the peanut plant, and pests that affect the plant. They will discover George Washington Carver's contribution to agriculture. This reader includes specific statistics for North Carolina and includes a map of where peanuts are grown in the state. Visit the National Peanut Board to discover if your state produces peanuts and learn more about America's peanut production. This reader can be viewed by students electronically, as a class with a SMARTboard, or printed.
