    The National Peanut Board strives to help America’s 7,000 peanut-farming families improve their production practices and continue to put the world’s highest-quality peanut product in the hands of people around the globe. They do this so peanut growers can continue to farm the land that, for many, has been in their family for generations. And through research, marketing and promotion efforts, they are committed to strengthening people's love of America’s favorite nut, too.
