Pecan growers are farmers who cultivate pecan trees for their nuts, which are popular in various culinary dishes and snacks. These trees thrive in warm climates, particularly in the southern regions of the United States, where they require well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. The process of growing pecans involves planting seedlings, managing irrigation, and protecting the trees from pests and diseases. Harvesting typically occurs in the fall when the nuts fall from the trees. Pecan growers play a vital role in the agricultural economy, contributing to both local and national markets.
