Pecans & People Around the Industry
Lane Southern Orchards owns many acres of both peach and pecan orchards, which they are continuing to expand. The group is interplanting pecan and peach trees, so the peach trees are producing in the early years that the pecan trees are reaching maturity. Peach orchards are also being replaced with pecans due to the limited years peaches can be in particular soil due to oak rot. (Image by Blair Krebs)
The pecan industry has seen a busy start to the year with events across the country. February kicked off with the Texas A&M AgriLife Pecan Short Course, followed by the Southeastern Pecan Growers Association Conference and the Western Pecan Growers Conference. During this time, industry leaders gathered in Dallas for the joint American Pecan Promotion Board and American Pecan Council meetings. March finished up with the Georgia Pecan Growers Association in Perry, Georgia. These events bring growers together to share updates, insights, and strengthen the pecan community.
