It was a great day to spend in our pecan orchards! Heads up as we're beginning to see stink bugs and the aphid pressure is getting worse. Scout and spray! Need help call us or message us here!

This is a rich slice of Americana! We're enjoying this beautiful breeze and repairing a soil moisture sensor on one of our telemetry units while we scout for insects and disease.

We're on a zoom training this morning with our cooperators! Jan Yingling is teaching us about irrigation scheduling for pecan orchards.

Out checking traps at our three cooperators! The birds are singing and the sun is shining! It’s a great day!

[Tri-County Pecan Production @PecanTri]

Our team met and got traps and telemetry units installed on all three cooperators this week! We even had some time to teach a few grafting techniques!

[Tri-County Pecan Production @PecanTri]

We’re working in our demos today. Jan and Jacob are looking at a Pecan Weevil trap.
