Just outside Douglas, GA, you’ll find a little farm with a big story. Laniebug Farms, owned and operated by John Hayes, is more than just a blueberry and blackberry operation. It’s a place where family roots and farming dreams grow side by side. Our team had the chance to spend some time with John and his daughter on what most would consider one of the dog days of late summer in south Georgia. Already post this year’s blackberry harvest, we walked through the spent fields where this year’s canes will eventually give way to next year’s fruit as John shared his story.
Peanut harvest season in South Georgia means long days, tight schedules, and no margin for error. From digging and inverting to hauling and cleaning, every step of the process relies on dependable, well-matched equipment. At Lasseter Tractor Company, we understand the demands of peanut farming in places like Moultrie, Tifton, and Douglas. We also know that having the right John Deere tractor family can make harvest more productive and less stressful. For peanut growers in our area, the John Deere 6M Series and 8 Series tractors deliver the power, precision, and durability needed to keep the harvest moving.
