I’m considering planting it in pecan trees. Far off plans……. Son wants to buy a PTO driven well drilling rig and put a couple of ag wells on my place and on his land. I could run irrigation to each tree for these bodacious droughts we have. It wouldn’t make money in my lifetime but it would in his and my daughter’s.

Maybe not, but I'd imagine it would be really pretty and so, so satisfying to see each morning. (And you could have sheep graze around those trees when old enough, right? Infact, it might be critical, plus it would be even more satisfying )

Not to burst any bubbles... and I have never raised any.... but it is my understanding that pecan trees require alot of water compared to some.... @SageHill have any insight on them????

That’s why the Ag well and irrigation pipe run to each tree.

That’s what I’m thinking!

My great aunt in Tallulah Louisiana had an 80 acre pecan grove. I was always so impressed with it. I was 30 when she died and it all was sold. Her and her husband farmed, had over 1,000 acres leased for crops and cattle. Plus they owned other parcels of land. But I always loved the pecan grove the most, especially with Hereford cattle grazing in it. Beautiful. And profitable.
