Nut trees attract buyers amid soil conservation push
Davis Snyder of Snyder Brothers Inc Center Point Iowa notes strong interest in grafted nut stock despite drought hail and a weak season. He argues nut trees offer soil conservation and potential profit with black walnuts yielding high returns per acre while hickories and Winkler hazel attract ornamental value. Propagation remains limited by demand and a practical nut cracking machine is still needed.
