A southern Illinois pecan grower says the season is starting off well.

Ralph Voss, who grows 200-acres of pecans in Clinton County, tells Brownfield…

“We’ve been sweating out freezes!”  He says, “So far we’re lucking out. The trees are greening out, probably in 10 days or less we will have nuts on the trees.”

Voss, who’s vice president of the Illinois Nut Growers Association, says this year’s crop is ahead of schedule.
