Pecan Blog

Here in South Central Texas it's about time to start Pecan Harvesting. It never fails about the time you need to start pecan picking here comes bad weather. Down south pecan harvest has been well on the way with the nuts going to market. The story I here native pecans are going to bring over a dollar a pound because of the shortage everywhere but if they stay that high I might be a mokey's uncle. Here on the Pecan Blog is a picture of Savage Equipment's new Portable Eleavator model 1518. I am not showing the super sack attachment but thats what complements this machine. I have one in stock and hopefully some precleaners coming. If interested and need help with your equipment or pecan harvest call me. 888-688-7273 John Pape  Equipment Link

  Well into December and the bad weather hasn't given pecan growers much of a break here in south central Texas. Rains and flooding have caused many pecans to go down rivers leaving pecan bottoms a mess. When the ground is muddy it is not advised to run your pecan harvester until it's dry enough the machine will not pick up the mud. With the bad weather and short crops all over USA has kept the pecan price up. When there are bumper crops of pecans what do you think the pecan prices are going to do? Will there be a happy medium or will the bottom fall out? Custom harvesters are sad from the shortage but happy with the price as of now, lets see what christmas brings price wise. Happy Holidays, John Pape.
