Here’s an audio story on the huge decreases in pecan production that happened in 2018 due to the impacts of Hurricane Michael (as well as Irma in 2017, which also blew down a lot of trees). In Georgia it cut the production from 105 million pounds in 2017 to 56 million pounds in 2018, and in the US for a whole production was reduced by 27 percent. You can listen to the story at Southeast Ag Radio Network at https://southeastagnet.com/2019/03/20/huge-decline-pecan-production/.
