Late-Season Challenges Threaten 2018 Pecan Quality

摘要

The great pecan crop of 2018 may be in trouble. First, there was Hurricane Michael, which went right through the middle of the Georgia pecan industry. Then harvest in Texas was slowed or stopped due to constant rains. Most growers and all buyers are concerned about the quality of the 2018 Central, South, and East Texas crop for 2018. When we have a big crop and the weather cooperates, pecan quality is not an issue; however, now that our crop is to be low, quality will be a major factor in determiningprices paid and received.
