All the peanut farmers around here in North Texas are rabid Democrats. Lots of gubment yankee dollars in peanuts.

The only thing worse than hog dog hunters are the hogs.
I fixt it for you...
Actually getting after hogs with dogs makes them move to a different area PDQ. Hog dog guys won't kill as many hogs as hunters with thermals, but hogs absolutely HATE being run by dogs.
I've read the plants after you get the nuts are supposed to be good forage for horses/cows.
Any truth to that?
Peanut hay! Excellent feed!
It's hard to keep the deer out of peanuts as they are growing as well. They come in force to green peanut fields.
Was reading some homesteading literature years ago, and they were recommending peanuts as not only a food for people, but the there was a lot of plant too, and that made quite a bit of forage. Supposedly easy to grow and get bountiful harvests of both. I don't think they'd grow up this far north but thought it was cool.
An acquaintance was once researching peanut development with hopes of identifying critical periods of nutrient and water uptake. Spent serious $$$ trenching, installing slanted panes, and covering said windows for viewing underground goings on. A total flop, as even a few seconds of exposure to light when lids were lifted would halt nut growth.
Must admit that I'm probably above average on consumption.

Cows yes. Horses no, its too rough.
Perennial peanut is a different plant. Perennial peanuts do not have a nut (I know, it doesn't make sense) and is a perennial that is very high in protein and is grown for forage and hay only. They are considered the alfalfa of the south. Down south, its the best horse hay you can get. Perennial will only grow in lower 8a and south, basically Florida and the very southern parts of GA, AL, MS, LA, TX. They are planted by sprigging. We planted 10 acres last year for deer. They did not establish last year but are coming up now with vengeance. Thank goodness, perennials are expensive to plant and establish. But once established, they can not be over browsed by deer. About the only thing deer can't keep up with around here.
