Market Farming

["Jim Goodman" <jim AT horizonmalawi.org>]

Hi, I'm a new member farming in Malawi...probably not quite the target 
group...but I am wondering if anyone has ever planted peanuts in a minimum 
tillage/conservation tillage system ...and if so how? We are trying to 
implement a minimum tillage system for soil conservation purposes and work 
with a smallholder farmers association to help them do the same, using our 
farm as a teaching ground. Peanuts (groundnuts) is an important component of 
the farming system here, as I know it is in some parts of the States. My 
main concern is how hard will harvesting could be if peanuts are not planted 
in ridges.
