Georgia Peanut Bank Week
At South Georgia Banking Company, we’re proud to join the Georgia Peanut Commission and the Georgia Bankers Association in celebrating the 49th annual Georgia Peanut Bank Week, taking place October 20–24, 2025. This year’s theme, “Peanuts and Pennies: Growing Georgia Together,” highlights the vital role peanuts play in Georgia’s economy and the health benefits they bring to families across our state.
Why We Celebrate
Georgia is the nation’s leading peanut producer, accounting for nearly 50% of U.S. peanut production. In 2024 alone, peanuts were planted on more than 845,000 acres across 78 counties, yielding an average of 3,800 pounds per acre. Behind these numbers are over 4,000 hardworking farm families who contribute to the sustainability and success of our communities.
