Clarification...


If you read Dad's report from KAUZ he said he will harvest one million pounds of pecans on a good year.

Some of our customers are a little confused so here is a bit of clarification for you.

We can harvest around one million pounds off of ALL our orchards. We have about 800 acres in orchards (both old ones and new ones) and we have about 25,000 trees total (native, papershell, improved varieties, etc.). Some trees are native pecans, some are the older varieties, and some just do not fill out well enough to be retailed. These types of pecans are what we send to China and/or shelling companies.

We do not retail one million pounds of pecans. It would be nice, but that is not the case.

The one million pounds includes every pecan we grow...some are top quality, papershell pecans that we retail at the Pecan Shed in Wichita Falls...some are not.

Hope all this information helps!
