This episode separates the planning process from the planting process of establishing a pecan orchard. Hosts Andrew Sawyer and Dr. Lenny Wells of University of Georgia Cooperative Extension cover the necessity of site selection, pollinator placement, and tree spacing. This episode continues with proven planting techniques involving root protection, hole depth, at-plant pruning and deer management. The hosts include a season update for Georgia pecan in April of 2026.

In the second episode, Dr. Lenny Wells of the University of Georgia Department of Horticulture, provides pecan growers a strategy for overcoming the greatest challenge in growing and producing pecans -  the continued increase in the costs of production. The episode also entails an interesting history of both domestic and international pecan markets as well as the development of the current grower and sheller industry.
