Pecan harvesting is fascinating and they use some really cool equipment. We toured the pecan orchard at the Cimarron Valley Research Station in Perkins, Oklahoma to learn about the pecan harvest. This facility is part of the Oklahoma State University system and they do research, testing, and education to help pecan growers.
We followed along as the harvested pecans from some of their research trees. And of course we saw everyone's favorite part - the tree shaking!
We got to ask lots of questions and see how the Savage pecan harvesting equipment worked. Hope you enjoy this up close look at pecans!
