Have you ever seen a harvest like this? Yesterday at the Georgia Pecan Growers Association, Inc Annual Fall Field Day, King Springs Pecans showed how their crew harvests using the Catchall from Orchard Machinery Corporation - OMC.

Weāre out exploring orchards in South Georgia that were affected by #HurricaneMichael. Join us live at our first stop, Sunnyland Farms in Albany.
Featured on the June cover, Cinco B Farm sits in Burton, Texas and has about 630 trees. Growers Pat and Marguerite Baggett started the orchard in 1991 by planting 80 trees by themselves. At the time, they didnāt know anything about pecans. They didnāt have a house but lived in the barn. They didnāt even have hot water. Pat Baggett says, āWe had a hot plate, toilet and sink. And that was it.ā Today, the Baggetts have transformed their property into a little paradise and still do most of the work on the orchard by themselves.
American Pecans made their debut at The Not Pie Shop on April 25, a one-day pop-up shop that featured cooking demos from Lexi's Clean Kitchen and Naturally Ella, samples of nutritious #pecan apps, and a trail mix bar.

Published monthly by the Texas Pecan Growers Association, Pecan South wasnāt always known as Pecan South. The American pecan industryās leading publication started off as a bimonthly publication called Texas Pecan News, which was first published by J.E. Hutchison, the then TPGA secretary.
As the industry changed, the magazine evolved to keep pace. In May 1969, Texas Pecan News was reintroduced as The Pecan Quarterly. With a new name and a new look, the magazine focused more on providing information and advice to the entire Pecan Belt. Although published by the Texas Pecan Growers Association, the staff and TPGA board at the time recognized the need for a publication that could represent and serve the entire industry. This vision remains Pecan Southās mission.
In fact, The Pecan Quarterly was officially designated āthe national pecan magazineā by The Federated Pecan Growers of the United States on June 18, 1969 at their meeting in Monroe, Louisiana. By recognizing the magazine as such, the Federated Pecan Growers of the U.S.ānow known as the U.S. Pecan Growers Councilābestowed on it the enormous responsibility of being the national voice for pecan growers across the United States.
Even with the goal of growing larger, The Pecan Quarterly held steadfast to its main priority: maintaining quality. It did this by drawing together scientists, researchers, and pecan industry members to provide invaluable knowledge to readers every quarter.
By focusing on quality, the magazine was able to grow yet again. In the 1990s, The Pecan Quarterly acquired Pecan South magazine and adopted its name. With this transformation, Pecan South took on the title of āthe national pecan magazine,ā one which it continues to hold and cherish today.
As the pecan magazine, Pecan South remains the preferred publication for growers, processors, commercial vendors, and pecan enthusiasts alike. With over 60 years under its belt, this magazine continues to grow, prosper, and stretch its roots in the hopes of reaching pecan growers and industry members not only around the country but also around the world.
