Peanut crops are rotated out with cotton crops. Cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop. That means there are plenty of insecticides left over for the following year's peanuts.
I just found out that Meijer is having a sale this week, 10% off a case of their store brand items and free shipping. Time to get some organic peanut butter for the tots. (The PB is in Plastic Type #1 -- Non-BPA plastic)
According to the Pesticide Action Network, (http://www.panna.org/files/conventionalCotton.dv.html), conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop and epitomizes the worst effects of chemically dependent agriculture.
