Nutting season expected as walnuts and hazelnuts abundant

Reports from Muscatine describe a plentiful nut crop with an especially large walnut yield. Dry weather last year reduced hickory trees but the current season should still offer good nuts. Hazelnuts show promise with fewer spoiled ones, though bushes are less abundant than in past years.
