Artificial intelligence is making its way into peanut buying points. 🥜🤖

As harvest season approaches, the Wiregrass AI Peanut Sorter is preparing to move from development and testing into real-world use. Developed by See Produce, the technology uses artificial intelligence and machine vision to quickly identify and separate farmer stock peanuts, including pods, loose shelled kernels and foreign material.

The goal? To bring greater speed, consistency and accuracy to one of the most labor-intensive steps at peanut buying points while helping streamline operations during the busy harvest season.

The University of Georgia's Peanut Team Research and Extension Endowment continues to provide support for research, education and extension outreach that directly benefits Georgia peanut growers.

Established in 2013 with an initial $100,000 contribution from the Georgia Federal-State Inspection Service, the endowment was created to provide a permanent source of funding for the UGA Peanut Team. Since then, the endowment has grown thanks to the additional contributions from the Georgia Peanut Commission and other private donors.
