Last year's pecan crop on the farm was nil even with a half dozen trees that should bear nuts. Pecan trees goes through alternate year bearing cycles and some how the large trees decided to take a "rest" together. And last year we only had a couple of small trees that even produce enough nuts for a couple of pies for Thanksgiving.
Even with the severe drought that the Southeast is experiencing this year, pecan production in Georgia is reported to be 35 - 40% better than last year.
After about 45 minutes of rolling the ground we have enough nuts to fill a number 2 warsh tub and an 1000% increase of our pecan harvest versus last November.
