Pecans Move in Largest Cration County Crop Shipments Begin
Cration County's vast pecan harvest moves to gins as first ship notices go out. Orchard run bids hover around ten cents, select shipments fetch up to one dollar per pound. Workers harvest by the pound or on shares, with some buyers avoiding green pecans until after cold weather. Some estimate the crop as the county's heaviest, possibly surpassing 1919, while damage from insects remains light and quality remains high. Much money will enter the region as cotton prices stay low.
