Arthur Maye, an employee of Mullek Farms plows peanuts Friday September 6, 2002 off county road 32 in Summerdale, Ala. South Alabama farmers say the crop is progressing well and should be a better-than-average harvest, although not quite as good as last year’s bumper crop. The peanut crop is reaching maturity and many farmers this week began harvesting their fields. (Mobile Register, John David Mercer) BUSINESS FARMING
