re: No pecans this year?

Just like oak trees, some years are bumper crops and other are total failures. But most are somewhere in between. It's not uncommon to have 2 or 3 good years in a row. That's why biologists do mast surveys each year to determine how much will be available for the wildlife and how much supplemental feed will be required.

Eta. We don't have pecan trees on our land in Simsboro, but the acorn crop looks mighty slim this year.
