The 2017 Southeast Georgia Pecan Field Day was held August 23, 2017. Over 250 people attended making this year\u2019s field day\u00a0the largest since\u00a0it began. This\u00a0has turned into one of\u00a0the highest attended field days in\u00a0Southeast Georgia and one of the largest Pecan Field days in the\u00a0nation.\u00a0This year more equipment was on display and a lot of companies setup\u00a0booths and other displays for attendees to see. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Lenny Wells, UGA Pecan Specialist; Dr. Tim Brenneman, UGA Plant Pathologist; and\u00a0Dr. Tim Grey, UGA Weed Scientist were\u00a0our\u00a0speakers. Topics included: Young tree maintenance, Leaf Scorch, Zinc deficiency, Disease management, Nematodes, Fruit thinning, Shuck Split, Herbicides for late season and\u00a0viewing a\u00a0Herbicide research\u00a0trial, and a Season update <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pecan acres have continued to increase over the last few years\u00a0and growers are showing they want and appreciate\u00a0these educational opportunities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The point of field days and meetings\u00a0is to learn from specialists\u00a0and also\u00a0other growers. The more a grower can\u00a0learn about\u00a0the industry he’s in, the more successful his farm will be. UGA Extension has been providing\u00a0a wealth of knowledge to farmers in Georgia for over 100 years and we will continue to do what we do best. Getting ready for fields days of this size takes a lot of work and months of preparing, but it’s worth it and we\u00a0plan on\u00a0doing it again next year. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to The Parker Brothers Farm for allowing us to host this event at their farm each year.<\/p>\n
