Was at the Domino sugar plant just south of New Orleans today doing a pickup. This one plant has been in production since 1909 and produces over 1 Million Tons (that's 2 billion lbs) of sugar a year. The plant sits on land that was settled before there was a United States. The house that stands on the property today was built in 1839.
On this property there are still many pecan trees all planted in nice straight rows. So we can assume they were planted between 1839 and 1909.
Since the trees are on fenced property; the only people that usually get any are employees. So many of the pecans just sit there and rot on the ground; or the squirrels and crows get them. The truck drivers that go there are afraid to take any as they do not know you can. While I was waiting to get to the dock I took a few minutes to pick up some of the pecans to bring home.
I picked up all these pecans from under 1 tree. Still had plenty left; I just got tired of picking them up. With all the trees there you could fill up a entire leaf garbage bag with no problems. Now all I need to do is sit here and pick all these shells and I might be able to talk the wife into making me some pralines.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
