I worked in a pecan orchards running the harvester machine. We also had a shaker to get the pecans down. We had trailer loads 15ft high with dryers. Love working the job I was only 14 teen. Thanks for sharing your video brings back memory’s 👍😎✌️
I helped out a custom pecan harvester once and it was a pretty slick operation from the tree shaking to the final step of putting the loaded burlap 50 lbs sacks of nuts on the trailer.I have been around them all my life but this big-sized operation was in impressive.Mississippi grower.
Huh. I’m in NC, It’s September, and my pecan tree is raining pecans. Some green, some brown, all are in the husks. I’ve been picking them up. Not sure what I’m doing. But I figured I’d try.
My squirrels keep knocking mine off the tree. It's end of July. By the time it's sep I'll have none left. If they fall on the ground can I let them dry at home?

I got a bucket of pecans given to me that were picked last fall. I'm shelling them and they look pretty good. But she said they're rancid. Is there something to look for that shows they're no good?
Would you know how to treat a pecan tree? My pecans never turn out fully formed they are either always green and never fully mature. The tree is very old and tall as well, if that helps with a diagnosis
According to U.S. Pecans,"Proper storage preserves nut quality. Poor storage often leads to darkening of kernels and rancidity of the oils, destroying the natural flavor and aroma of the nuts. Store pecans under refrigeration. Freezing is best. Lowering the temperature extends storage life. Nuts can be thawed and refrozen without loss of quality. Refrigerated or frozen pecans should be placed in airtight containers. Pecan kernels readily absorb odors from other foods, resulting in off flavors. Sealed plastic bags are best for storing pecans in the freezer. Pecans are usually stored shelled since they take up less space and can be conveniently used straight from the freezer. Unshelled pecans can be stored for a longer period than shelled nuts. Storing pecans at room temperature is not recommended." www.uspecans.org/consumers.php
Eat right off the tree. No processing required. Watch out for aggressive male squirrel's. Wear safety glasses to avoid wind born debris. Bring the kids.
@@gel990 freeze them and eat them with frozen chocolate chips. Dark chocolate is one of the highest antioxidant foods and pecans are the highest antioxidant nut in the world. Antioxidant overload.

What a brilliant documentary, this is why i like farmers/Trump over scientists/Obama, because they bring food to our table. And more importantly, they just look more American to me.
Syed Alam this is a joke right? Scientists are just as responsible for the food in grocery stores as the farmers who do all the physical labor to harvest the actual crops.
Just can’t help yourself - you have to turn a non-political video about pecans into something it isn’t. It is comments like yours that help divide this country.
We’re purchasing 25 acres of land in Florida with 23 pecan trees on it. Thanks for the info!!
Take care of those delicious treasures!
This was awesome, it answered all of my questions about harvesting at home. Straight to the points!

wow the game these things attract you have the meat for dinner too....the gift that keeps given...
LOL. See, now that's a person whose glass is always half FULL. :-)
THANK YOU for the information! You answered so many of my questions regarding Pecan harvesting! :-)
I like to store them in a pie.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! We appreciate your tips and are wishing you a bountiful harvest this year! Thanks for tuning in! Happy Gardening!
Matt in my house that pie that you store won't last a minute stored lol
Just store the pies in my stomach.
LOL. Yeah, but they don't last very long that way. LOL
I sometimes store my nuts in my wife's pie.
Great video. Thank you for the information
We just bought a property with a huge pecan tree and I am excited to harvest them.
Great video, we have a small orchard, 150 trees just south of the red river in North Texas. Very informative video.
Great video thanks for sharing you expertise.
Thanks for watching!

How long doea it take for new pecan trees to produce?
Thank you
My squirrels keep knocking mine off the tree. It's end of July. By the time it's sep I'll have none left. If they fall on the ground can I let them dry at home?
Great information! Now if I can just harvest mine before the squirrel family does!

i KNOW! The moment i hear the first Crow call, i know i'm in for a fight to harvest as many an i can before they get them! :-\
Please send me Harvest Time for North Carolina for pecans
i have a giant pecan tree and never knew how to harvest them
I got a bucket of pecans given to me that were picked last fall. I'm shelling them and they look pretty good. But she said they're rancid. Is there something to look for that shows they're no good?
"Improving nut crops." 😆
Thank you for the info i wrestled about 10lbs away from the squirls this year.so was wondering how too store them in the shell.there so expensive .
My grandparents just put them straight in the freezer, shells and all.
After the event - what is that "nut picker-upper" ? Link ? What is that pole (didn't catch the name) ? Is anyone home ?
Had no choice because we had to cut branches away from our roof. So all the branches had green ones. I picked them off. Am I at a loss
Would you know how to treat a pecan tree? My pecans never turn out fully formed they are either always green and never fully mature. The tree is very old and tall as well, if that helps with a diagnosis
can we dry fresh pecan walnuts in the oven? for easier cracking
Is there a longer term storage idea... prepping, vac seal, or canning, or some means that doesn't require electricity to maintain them?

You are gonna eat them all gone within six months so just cardboard box on a cold floor. Keep in shell six months. Colder better.
So once dried or frozen, we can eat them right out of the shell? No need to toast them? It's safe? (Clueless on nuts here.)
Eat right off the tree. No processing required. Watch out for aggressive male squirrel's. Wear safety glasses to avoid wind born debris. Bring the kids.

science is reaponsible for all the farming mechanisms we use today hense gregor mendel
What a brilliant documentary, this is why i like farmers/Trump over scientists/Obama, because they bring food to our table. And more importantly, they just look more American to me.
Syed Alam this is a joke right? Scientists are just as responsible for the food in grocery stores as the farmers who do all the physical labor to harvest the actual crops.
Why is it Farmers/Trump vs Scientists/Obama? You realise that you wouldn't even be able to share this view if it weren't for scientists?
Syd Alan
Just how would you describe how a typical American, should look?
Syd Alan You realize certain crops came fROM SCIENCE
