Researchers from @UGANewMaterials painted a cabinet utilizing a paint formulation with oil from Georgia-grown peanuts. The paint and primer can be formulated in any color, for interior/exterior applications. Thank you @gapeanuts for funding this work!

Best high protein nuts to choose? Peanuts top the bill with more protein by weight than any other nut. Lots more nutrients too. Tasty, affordable, versatile and #sustainable. Choose peanuts. @GHmagazine

Graduate school should be about discovery—not financial stress. Over 90% of our graduate students are supported by assistantships, meaning they can focus on their education and research without financial barriers standing in the way of their success. 🔗

Proud of this paper. Would not have been possible without the strength of the county delivery system with @UGAExtension! First publication demonstrating the severity of this issue according to growers, county agents, and consultants. Actual loss data from grower fields is next!

Dr. Dean once again - out here with another amazing functional use of our non-edible crop. Awesome work!
Researchers in Raleigh have discovered a new use for non-food grade in-shell peanuts! Aflatoxin-free peanuts can be added to livestock feed, reducing waste and providing nutritional benefits without the need to remove the shells. https://t.co/Khl0TXL1A8

When it’s too cold for #peanuts in #Georgia, the #peanutbreeding work moves to the greenhouse. Advancing #breeding populations in the winter months helps us develop new and improved #gapeanuts faster. #plantbreeding #eatmorepeanuts #ugacropandsoil #ugacaes #ipbgg
