Blustery Day...



Growing up I used to watch Winnie the Pooh and at times the 100 Acre Woods would have quite the "blustery day" according to Pooh Bear.

These last few days have been very blustery. The wind is supposed to get over 20 mph at times today.

All this is good for pecans. Cool air and wind are needed to help the pecans fall from the trees.

In our orchards in Charlie we have shaking equipment that we use during the harvesting process but most people do not have such a thing so they rely on Mother Nature to do the "shaking".

Right now we are buying pecans for $0.80 per pound. This is always subject to change but as of today that is the current price.

We also crack pecans for the public. The charge for this is $0.40 per pound.

T-T-F-N...Ta Ta For Now!
