Pecan farms in georgia.
The American pecans harvest for the 2024 season began in the southern states on October 20 and will run till late November.
Despite the effect of Hurricane Helene, Georgia’s early harvest was yielding robustly at a minimum 42% and a maximum 57% meat yield per nut.
This shows resilience since Helene wrecked 90% of pecan trees in eastern Georgia’s counties of Burke and Jefferson.
In their part, Louisiana and Texas, which also started their 2024 campaign on October 20, had to battle scab disease and heat.
In Texas, production estimates are at between 28 and 32 million pounds, out of a good year capacity of 50 million pounds.
This according to Monte Nesbitt, ph.D., a specialist with Texas A&M Department of Horticultural Sciences in a September report.
Nesbitt said that Texas has over 80,000 hectares under pecans but is not maximizing production because of such diseases as scab.
Further north, Oklahoma’s pecan harvest started on October 27, with the state’s farmers reporting low demand and minimal prices.
