2006 Pecan Show
Over 70 entries, including both named varieties and native pecans or seedlings, were sent in from around the state for the 2006 Pecan Show. All entries were judged at the LSU AgCenter Pecan Research-Extension Station and then brought over to the Civic Center in Monroe, Louisiana, for display during the 2006 Ag Expo held on January 20-21, 2006. Photographs of the show were provided by Otis R. Young, Louisiana Master Gardener.
