| Harvesting native pecans near Chetopa, KS |
Thanksgiving is an American Holiday with a long tradition of family gatherings and roast turkey dinners. But here in pecan country, today's bright sunshine and dry soil conditions makes it the perfect day to pick pecans. By mid-morning, I could hear the familiar drone of pecan harvesters working in the native groves near my farm. I took a quick drive around the area and found that every grower was celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday the same way, by picking pecans. I can't think of a better way celebrate the fall harvest season.
