Doubly so as it's not a nut. So two strikes on that count.
Though on the other hand, technically it's a legume

Counter point, they have in the past tried to kill me, and perhaps one day they will succeed. I mean I still don't know what they taste like.

Peanut farming it's very aggressive on the soil

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

I would have thought as legumes they produce green manure that helps the soil? Is this incorrect?

the logic of industrial scale ag can make anything bad.

I used to work in a farm where we grew peanuts, but only like maybe 100 row feet or so, and rotated with dozens of others crops. it was a very sandy, coastal soil so we could harvest by hand with a digging fork, though like most annuals, planting involved tillage. the impact was reduced by how sandy it was and we weren't assholes, so we kept passes to a minimum.

I've seen peanuts grown at a slightly larger scale in southern Japan, think like 50' thick strips along the borders of fields stretching for miles. also southern/coastal so still sandy.

I've never really seen big monocrop peanut fields like I'm sure exist in the southeastern US, but I'm sure it's rough.

the general benefit of legumes grown for crop is less that they leave fixed nitrogen behind and more that they fix their own instead of requiring it be brought to them. that's a big deal in terms of energy expenditure and global warming potential of the production system.

Okay, I have learned way more about peanut agriculture than I expected today, but this has been a way valuable lesson. Thank you!

why does the tractor have boss music? scared

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 1 points 5 hours ago

Have you ever fought a tractor?

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 3 points 22 hours ago

incredible.

what used to take several hundred years of ignorant human toiling can now be accomplished in just a few days with hundreds of gallons of fossil fuels.

the future is now.

In a well balanced permaculture system they are great for exactly that reason, in a typical monoculture with mechanized harvesting they require a lot of tillage.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Nitrogen fixers? Yeah, but harvesting the peanuts require tilling the ground.

As a big peanut enjoyer: scared

Excuse me? I am french and peanuts don't kill me. In fact I devour them, so really it is me who kills them!
