This year the pecan crop in the Mobile, Al area was not a good year. Last year the trees were set for a major crop, but drought starved the trees of water with a poor crop resulting. Last years crop had plenty of nuts on the ground, and 75% of the nuts were worthless. This year the trees that did put on were yielding good quality nuts, but only a few trees did so.
Stewarts ranged from .80cents to a dollar a pound.
Papershell & Candy seedlings received .75cents pound entire season consistently, but Stewarts fluctuated. Had three trees that produced around 175 lbs of each.
At the local Wal-Mart on the baking aisle 10 oz of shelled Stewarts is $7.78 a bag. The price the producer is receiving doesn"t justify the expense of keeping the trees up. Pecans are very susceptible to weather disasters, and we seem to be able to rely on a crop once in 5 years that coincides with decent pricing with the buyers. Last year the good Stewarts were bringing closer to 1.10, if you had any.
