Welcome to Mrs B's Pecanskirt

 

 

The mission of our company is to produce and deliver superior value, offer outstanding quality and offer the best price.

                                        

The Pecanskirt has been specifically designed for a specific market niche.  The Pecanskirt have been designed and developed to produce a superior harvest. As a result, at the end of the day, the Pecanskirt will provide a remarkable difference in your production rate.

Unlike some tree shakers, the Pecanskirt will give maximum damage protection for the customer's tree.  Crops that can be harvested with the Pecanskirt are as follow: Almonds, Pecans, Walnuts, Pistachios, Macadamias, and Pine Cones.

Harvesting pecans occurs from mid October through November, and occasionally into December.  For home harvesting, gathering falling nuts can be an option, but you usually have to fight the squirrels, who are master nut gathers.

Pecans can be offered to entice customers to purchase retail.  Special packaging, Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday sales are other marketing strategies that put more money into the growers pocket.

Yields from well-managed pecan groves average about 600lbs per acre, although yields over 1,000 lbs per acre is not uncommon in well-managed groves.

 

Wholesale returns to the grower have averaged around .60 per pound in recent years, although .80 to .90 per pound have been obtained some years.  Natives sold at the retail level bring around $1.00 per pound.

On average, the net return from native pecans sold wholesale is $1.00 per acre.  An economic unit of native pecans-which is the acreage needed to finance pecan equipment and provide an annual income is somewhere between 80-300 acres.  That's a wide range, but, it will ultimately depend on what percentage of farm income will come from pecans, family needs, equipment needs, condition of the grove, wholesale versus retail markets and geographical location.

We intend to fulfill this mission by giving extra effort to customer services, sales and production, and addressing the needs of our customers.
