Growing Georgia posted a story today on the state of Georgia’s upcoming pecan harvest. After Hurricane Hermine tracked through the southeastern part of the state, producers found many damaged trees and reductions in the number of nuts on the trees due to the winds from the storm. But University of Georgia Cooperative Extension pecan specialist Lenny Wells says that the dry summer has sharply reduced pecan scab disease, resulting in a harvest which may be over 100 million pounds.
