Runner peanuts have become the dominant type since the introduction of the Florunner in the early 1970s, which has much higher yields. They account for 72% of total U.S. production. Their uniform size makes them an excellent choice for peanut butter. In fact about 54% of the crop goes to peanut butter. Many of the rest are used in candy. Runners are grown mainly in Georgia, Alabama and Florida.* * Some of this information supplied by the Peanut Advisory Board, 1025 Sugar Pike Way, Canton, GA 30115
