“Getting the best quality and quantity from pecan trees with the least number of inputs is the goal for most every operation, whether it’s a hobbyist with a few trees or an active orchard,” said Jessica Humphrey, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in Lamar County. “There will be good information and value to be found in this program for both new and experienced pecan growers alike.”
