Roux Pecans preparing orchard floor for harvesting


The top picture illustrates the orchard floor before we slash the grass and undergrowth


















The second photo shows the result of the slashing process. The grass is left to rot. We introduce a
flock of sheep to keep the grass low until the first cold snap.

The third is Chris Roux - the farmer himself!! I really enjoyed an hour on the tractor this morning showing Simon the inns and outs of getting under the trees. Very hot and humid. The sky shows the humidity and storms brewing. We need some rain again!!
