APC Pecan Congress April 21, 2020
The American pecan industry is spread across the entire southern US and has a very diverse group of pecan growers, the meetings each year allow all of us to meet, share ideas and move the industry forward as a collective group of producers. Definitely one of my favorite times of year.
