Free Field Day to Highlight Oklahoma’s Pecan Industry

Oklahoma agriculture is well-known for its cattle and wheat industries, but the pecan industry also has a significant impact on the state. Oklahoma State University Extension is partnering with the Oklahoma Pecan Growers Association and Frazier Pecans to host the free Fall Pecan Field Day on Sept. 25 near Bixby.

The pecan industry positively impacts Oklahoma’s economy, said Becky Carroll, OSU Extension specialist for fruit and pecans.

“Providing current, research-based information to both seasoned and novice growers is vital because they’ll learn things that will help them improve their businesses,” Carroll said. “The field day will also provide networking opportunities for producers.”
