Not shocking news really. The U.S. has always been full of lefty "GOOBERS".

Farmers won't lose because their government crop program guarantees them $355 per ton. The losers could be federal taxpayers who pay the difference between the guaranteed price and the actual market value of the peanuts.

Well it didn't work for buggy whips but I guess it works for peanuts. I bet Jimmy Carter gets some of my money.

Peanuts make peanut oil.

Peanut oil can be refined.

Refined oil can be put into cars.

I'lll have the honey-roasted unsalted 94-octane, please.

I bet peanut oil would run one of those diesels.

Seeing as how a surplus of a product without a matching demand generally drastically lowers the price, what is everyone's consensus on what peanut prices at MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL games will do in the future?

I predict 20% price INCREASES.

Some 215,000 tons of peanuts are still unsold from the 2004 crop

Great, bring down the price of peanut butter.

"There's always somebody who wants to take a shot at the peanut program,"

The poor, embattled peanut industry. I didn't realize things had gotten so bad. These people are victims.

Does this mean the consumer prices will fall?

If this means less money in the profit column for the Carter peanut farm, I'm all for it.

I thought George Washington Carver invented 1,000 uses for the peanut.

Here's a use invented by You Dirty Rats -- use peanut oil to power Jane Fonda's loozer antiwar bus tour. She can take Jimmy Carter with her.

Better yet, Uncle Sam should stop providing a price guarantee for commodities. Let the market work.

Utterly insane.......the excess tonnage is going to rot in those warehouses, and the price of peanuts and peanut butter particularly continues to rise in the supermarket..........
