Summary

The Secretary of Agriculture must collect and publish U.S. data on peanuts and peanut oil. The data cover shelled, unshelled, and crushed peanuts and peanut oil, and show amounts received, processed, shipped, and held by warehousemen, brokers, shellers, dealers, growers’ cooperatives, crushers, salters, manufacturers, and other owners who are not the original growers. The Secretary may skip collecting from any salter or manufacturer that used less than 30,000 pounds of peanuts in the prior calendar year. The reports must show peanut kinds (Virginias, Runners, Spanish, and imported varieties) and are to be submitted monthly unless the Secretary sets a different schedule.
