(Distributed 03/05/08) It is the beginning of another pecan season, and faculty at the LSU AgCenter Pecan Station in Shreveport greeted it Feb. 28 with a spring seminar attended by 35 growers.

The 2008 Louisiana State Pecan Show made an excellent exhibit at Ag Expo in West Monroe January 18-19, 2008. Nearly 100 entries representative of 28 named varieties and 29 native/seedlings were judged to determine class and division winners. Pecan Show winners are listed.

The LSU AgCenter Pecan Research and Extension Station represents the only land-grant university research station devoted solely to pecan research and extension programming to support the pecan industry – not only in Louisiana, but the entire pecan-growing region of the southeastern United States.
