Extract

Pecans contribute significantly to agricultural income in Georgia and in several other Southern states. Eleven Southern states produce the total U. S. commercial supply of pecans and during the years 1967-69, the average annual farm value of marketings was nearly $74 million. Georgia is the leading state in pecan production, contributing 27 percent of total U. S. production and 31 percent of total market value during this three-year period. Georgia produced 60 million pounds of pecans annually with an average 1967-69 farm value of over $23 million.
