This is a very interesting video! Thank you so much for sharing it! My ex-husband and I used to walk along the creek banks in Central Texas and we would load up 5 gallon buckets with paper shell pecans and take them home to dump into #10 wash tubs. In late October and early November we would take four #10 wash tubs full of paper shell pecans to a place north of Georgetown, TX and sell those pecans for 25 cents a pound.
What a wonderful video! I love going back and watching your videos that I’ve not seen before Jimmy! You just make my day, especially when you laugh! Have a great day! Love y’all!!
When I was 14 years old, I was the pecan shaker and would climb to the top of my Mama and Daddy's tree. Now at 70, I don't think so, lol. Thanks for the great video's, Jimmy, and God Bless from here in South Carolina.
I’m not climbing any pecans trees lately either, Butch!! Lol. Some folks use long sticks to knock em’ down! With the size of our trees, it would take a pretty long stick!! God Bless!! jimmy
My 94yr mama loves her 54 yr old pecan tree. She planted the tree the year my baby brother was born and moved into this house. No one was allowed to climb that tree. I too am in SC.
My Dad planted a pecan tree in my grandma's back yard in the 40s. It is now the biggest tree in the neighborhood. It has a base about 12ft diameter. HUGE tree. over 40 ft tall. I been eating pecans from it my whole life. Love your vids Jimmy.
Love this channel.Entertaining learn alot from this channel Get to see different things like pecans very interesting about the process. You get to learn Fishing from one of the greatest of all time. And get to watch three beautiful baby fawns grow up. Best channel and most important you hear about God.. Keep it up jimmy love seeing the channel continuing to grow. God bless and tightlines
Great to see how you shake the trees, I can say that we are enjoying our Jimmy Houston's pecans. They taste so fresh. Thank you again, Mr. Houston. God Bless.
Thanks Tony, enjoying them myself! Think we are on our Second five pound bag already. A bunch have just been snacking!! Good thing they’re healthy!! Lol. God Bless! jimmy
I knew NOTHING about large scale pecan harvesting and processing. All I knew was what I learned from two pecan tres in my own yard, which wasn' much because the squirrels knew more about harvesting than I ever did.. This was very interesting and I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Mr Houston! I am really enjoying your you tube sir! Just seeing your ranch, the lake and seeing interacting with Lucy is so cool. Keep up the good work sir
Sorry Jimmy for night commenting or being able to watch your vids just going through some rough times with my combat PTSD. But im glad you're getting that harvest finally started can't wait for the mass production Jimmy pecan pies. God bless Jimmy. I'll be fine just going through the motions.
Hang in there, Ninja, as you can see, folks are praying for you and I am too!! Don’t know too much about that, but I do know that God has answers for every problem! May God Bless!! jimmy
Isn’t that cool. I bet you make a great pie, Pam. Next fall, get you some of our “fresh” pecans and that pie will be even better! Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy
This was quite interesting watching the pecan process.Always wondered how you picked them all up .Now I’m craving a pecan pie lol Have a great evening my friend! God Bless
Thanks for showing the whole pecan process. I have never thought about how it’s done industrial. We used to just take a long pole and whack a few limbs (and a few pecans would whack us😂). That’s really amazing. Boy that shaker does shake! Then lifting the Whole trailer to dump it..Wow! Really incredible! See you on the next one 👍👍 God Bless
Pretty interesting and actually a well thought out process to get er’ done!! That long pole still works pretty well! One of the techniques that caused the “low hanging fruit” to come about!! Lol. But it sure will get you a bucket of pecans pretty quickly!! God Bless!! jimmy
That’s a couple thousand pounds after cleaning! We are still shaking and picking, Karen, really a pretty good year! Not a record, but we are happy and feel Blessed!! Sold quite a few thru the net and to our many friends! Haven even checked the price at the processor! Whatever it is, it will be fair!! Thanks, Karen! God Blessl! jimmy
Loved This video on how you get the pecans off the trees. Years ago, when I was a LOT younger, my in-laws had a pecan tree in their backyard. I would climb the tree and shake the branches to get the nuts. I was about 32 at the time. No big deal....as I always loved to climb trees. And so was happy to climb that pecan tree to get my favorite nut. Thanks for the information. Loved the video. Take care and God Bless. 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Dorothy, super story, bet you were a great tree climber!! Lol. You know, that pecans are very healthy! We eat em because they taste great , but the healthy part is a bonus!!! God Bless!! jimmy
That is pecan heaven there. I use to pick up pecans on ranches for 50% of the take. Now I just get some from family's pecan trees. I love the Davis nut cracker the best.
That is amazing! I have never seen a tree shaker. I thought it was much more labor intensive, but that makes it much more efficient than waiting for the pecans to fall. Thank you for sharing this process. Bill
Wow never seen that before didn't know how people harvested pecans, looks like you're having a good harvest, enjoyed watching thanks for sharing bro. God bless!!
@@TwinEagleRanch I found that out when I went to Texas on vacation last year! I wanted to make sure I pronounced it right so I didn't make a fool out of my self, haha!
I made two orders 5lbs bag and a 10lbs bag. Thanks for video guy's. Pretty cool to see the process. You ain't lying there delicious. God Bless Jimmy and Chris.
Thanks, Bobby, appreciate you and so glad you are enjoying the fresh pecans! We are doing the same here! Probably snacking on a few too many!! But they are healthy!! Lol. God Bless! jimmy
Only in America, there's a machine for most everything. (instant earthquake for those trees once attached) Jimmy, you and your family lead a blessed life. You and God have a good connection. You have your act together. Great stuff.
When I was a teenager I shook pecan trees from north Louisiana to the south la on many pecan orchards. we had the old long arm reach that could shake one limb at a time if wanted. we used potato sacks. and all manual. I think that is why my backs bad today. lol. Thanks for showing this.
I’m sure it probably is Rodney, Louisiana is a great pecan state! Going back further they actually used a tall ladder and climbed the trees! My equipment is a few years older and I would like to have some of the new stuff. It’s even better!! Lol. Thanks for sharing!! jimmy
Pretty neat to watch. It was literally a giant vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush picking up pecans just like you would vacuum a carpet or rug. I enjoy these behind the scenes videos.
Sort of Logan, but it spits out all the light stuff like leaves! We are still picking up quite a bit of smaller trash, but it’s all a part of it!! Actually pretty fascinating to me! Thanks a bunch! God Bless!! jimmy
Lots of work, Jerry, and this is just the harvest! We spray every tree twice a year, and do a lot keeping the groves looking good! We water baby trees three times a week all summer, but I love it!! Quite a bit yet to be done at the processor before they can be sold! Thanks!! Godspeed! jimmy
Wow that's fascinating, your one of my favorite fisherman, been watching you since I was like 10-12 years old back in 1980-1982 ,keep casting posting and Dreaming 👊👊👍
I appreciate that Ken, and I appreciate you for hanging with us all these years! Hope you enjoy the channel!! We’re working hard on it!! Godspeed!! jimmy
Hello Jimmy it's Bill how are you hope you're doing fine hope everyone is fine at home man what a fantastic awesome video on pecans I was a farmer also retired now and y'all being out of Southern New Jersey we have a lot of farms in southern part of the state I really learned something here about pecan farming it's a lot of hard work Jimmy of course farming is hard work no doubt about it was really interesting I learned a lot and absolutely a phenomenal video really enjoyed it thank you for putting something together like this this was really fun thank you to my good friend Jimmy I greatly appreciate that alright Jimmy I will talk to you soon God bless and God bless all
And Thank you Bill, it is a lot of hard work but the pecans are great!! We are probably about 25% done with getting the bits in. Rain forecast starting Thursday, so we have three full days ahead of us before then!! Beautiful country up there in southern New Jersey. Have a great Thanksgiving!! Godspeed!! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch thank you Jimmy appreciate that very much and you and misses and the entire family have a very happy safe and blessed Thanksgiving I have a lot to be thankful for and that's our friendship thanks again Jimmy talk to you later God bless
Never would have guessed I’d be learning about the pecan harvest from one of the greatest fisherman of all times, but I got intrigued with the process and now I know lol I never would have guessed that you have equipment to shake them from the tree like that.
Thanks Thomas, it is an interesting harvest and quite a bit more than most folks realize! And it’s a very short time we can get to eat Fresh pecans!! I think they are well Worth the effort!! God Bless! jimmy
Very informative video, Jimmy, but I was thinking the shaker would be a boom arm that would reach further up the tree. Nothing better than good fresh raw pecans, or pie, or cake, or anything with them in it. Thanks for sharing with everyone. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
It would be good to shake a little higher up, Gaston, where the tree was a bit smaller, but pecan trees are Pretty brittle! We would be breaking a few trees and that shaker is really heavy! We would need a big tractor to elevate that shaker!! For personal use, a long stick will get you as much as you can eat!! Lol. God Bless! jimmy
It’s an instant earthquake for a pecan tree! Lol. They’ve got some a lot fancier now!! I don’t have enough trees to buy the newer stuff!! Only have about a thousand, wish I had 20,000!!! Lol. Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
New sub here, Daniel and Houston from Arms Family Homestead sent me! I love Pecans any way I can get them, so good! Thank you for showing the process of Pecan harvesting and processing, very interesting and I learned something new today!
Thanks, Lisa l, and welcome! Daniel is a great friend and Houston is special! Magnetic!! We appreciate you hangin with us and we’ll make your heart happy from time to time!! God Bless! jimmy
That was very interesting I never knew that's how you harvest pecans. The kids everywhere would enjoy this vedieo as much or more than I did. I know my wife did. And I need to find a chance to go to the lake and fish. Thanks again. God bless and have a very blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃
You too, Teddy and remember to eat all you can, it’s a “No Limit” day on Thanksgiving!! Lol. And yes you do need to go fishing, they are biting!! Thanks! Godspeed!! jimmy
Hi Jimmy, I saw your fishing showes back in the 1980s when I back to the USA from Germany, after three years. I got Stationed at Ft. Riley, Kanases and saw your showes on TV, and I liked it. I retired from the US Army in 1986 and moved to Lawton, Okla. and lost track of you. I moved to Ft. Worth, Texas, in1986 and Worked for Bell, Helicopter for 29 years,but I got to see you back in the 80s at the Bass Pro Shop North of DFW Airpot.. i did not come up and talk to you,becouse we didn't know each other. I know that I am taller than You. I am not a haiter, Ilike You. Love. Man.
Welcome to the channel, Robert, I appreciate you hanging with us all these years!! Also appreciate your service for our country! We still are on television on the Discovery Channel, CBS Sport, Pursuit Channel WFN and many other networks! We have lots of fun here and you!’ll catch a few more fish as well. Thanks so much, I appreciate you. May God Bless! jimmy
Well, Thank You, Lucille, I appreciate those nice comments! The pecans are great this year!! Hope y’all have a great Christmas and a Blessed 2020. Godspeed! jimmy
Always wanted 100 acres of PCONS. You are blessed when you got more PCONS than squirrels can eat. You are blessed when you're wife is a great squirrel cooker. Shooting squirrel an eaten squirrel 3 time a day year round. Life is good.
Very interesting process. How It's Made is one of my favorite programs. If I could time this weekend I am going to order some of your delicious pecans. And if my daughter will let me I am going fishing again this Saturday
Thanks, Dale, we appreciate that and yes, you definitely need to go fishing. Not too bad of a bite going on. And not many pretty days left this year in most of the country!! God Bless! jimmy
Love it Jimmy thank you for the show. & Apache. I’ve been to Madill, matter of fact some friends of mine out of Bowie TX and I traveled there last month to eat Catfish just out of Madill.
One of my best buddies, since passed away, was a walnut huller. He called that shaker a thrasher, I think. Man that guy would bring big bulk (unbranded) bags of the best pistachios and butter toffee nuts from the processer. We'd eat 'em 'till we just about got "bound up" as my grandmother used to say. She had lots of goos sayings, if we misbehaved she'd say "You better quit, or you're gonna find my hand on your head with a great big knot under it"
You. J Tee are one funny guy and your stories are great!! Now I know where it all comes from, your Gramdma!! Bound up, hand on your head with a knot under it! Can’t wait for More!! I love that Lady!! Picked up a bunch of walnuts myself as a kid and sold to a huller that would come around and set up at a local store or park!! Even nutty back then! Thanks! Godspeed!! jimmy
Never seen a shaker before that was pretty cool!!! Good luck with your crop Jimmy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving eat lots of Pecan pie. I know ill try!! GODS SPEED ENJOY
I've paid for 4 mission trips to Mexico by baking and selling pecan pies. My former church had a very small stand of pecan trees and i was allowed to pick up the pecan with which I would make chocolate pecan, apple pecan and regular pecan pies.🤟👏👍😎🙏🙏
That is so cool, Scrapper, thanks for sharing that. I know it puts a smile on Gods heart when something like that happens!! You have multiplied those pecans into eternity for many. So proud and happy for you!! Thanks. God Bless!! jimmy
I'm always interested in way things are harvested and getting ready to ship out. Never knew how you get the pecans off the trees. My grandmother lived in Alabama and she had a few trees but I think they used long sticks too beat them out.
I love em. We have about a thousand trees. We will start taking orders Oct 1. I love those trees this time of year. Giant shade tree. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy
when I was station at Ft. Hood,Tx. My motor pool Sgt.and me would take a deuc half pecan hunting .Take the front bumper against the tree and gently bump the tree until pecans start to rain down. Big paper shell pecan. I brought home for Xmas and awol bag for my Mom present . Her eyes lit up and she could not believe it.That was in 1966.
That little trick works well, Albert, just need to be careful not to damage the tree or the bumper!! Lol. Never saw a Mom that didn’t love fresh pecans! Good move on your part!! Thanks for sharing that! God Bless! jimmy
God's Blessings to you Jimmy and Chris that is amazing always wondered about this now I know see You do have the Brains Houston the Giggler And Dan is the Muscles but is learning from you yeah he is going to pass on the learning you have taught him to Houston then and GOD IS THE ONE to make this HAPPEN FOR US that tractor is like a vacuum cleaner for a big living room and I know what you mean by forgetting the words only for me I see the word in my brain it is spelled on out for me before I say or spell it have lived like this for a long long time
Love it! I've been tempted to try a couple of pecan trees, not sure they'd do well here in southeast TN. I enjoy fooling with a couple of apple trees I have. I love farm work. I'm glad this years harvest is shaping up to be a good one for yall. I think you'd be in a real fix without Miss Chris and Apache!! God bless yall!!

Hi Jimmy, I saw your fishing showes back in the 1980s when I back to the USA from Germany, after three years.
I got Stationed at Ft. Riley, Kanases and saw your showes on TV, and I liked it.
I retired from the US Army in 1986 and moved to Lawton, Okla. and lost track of you.
I moved to Ft. Worth, Texas, in1986 and Worked for Bell, Helicopter for 29 years,but I got to see you back in the 80s at the Bass Pro Shop North of DFW Airpot..
i did not come up and talk to you,becouse we didn't know each other.
I know that I am taller than You.
I am not a haiter, Ilike You.
Love. Man.

Very interesting process. How It's Made is one of my favorite programs. If I could time this weekend I am going to order some of your delicious pecans. And if my daughter will let me I am going fishing again this Saturday
Thanks, Dale, we appreciate that and yes, you definitely need to go fishing. Not too bad of a bite going on. And not many pretty days left this year in most of the country!! God Bless! jimmy

One of my best buddies, since passed away, was a walnut huller. He called that shaker a thrasher, I think. Man that guy would bring big bulk (unbranded) bags of the best pistachios and butter toffee nuts from the processer. We'd eat 'em 'till we just about got "bound up" as my grandmother used to say. She had lots of goos sayings, if we misbehaved she'd say "You better quit, or you're gonna find my hand on your head with a great big knot under it"
You. J Tee are one funny guy and your stories are great!! Now I know where it all comes from, your Gramdma!! Bound up, hand on your head with a knot under it! Can’t wait for
More!! I love that Lady!! Picked up a bunch of walnuts myself as a kid and sold to a huller that would come around and set up at a local store or park!! Even nutty back then! Thanks! Godspeed!! jimmy
Never seen a shaker before that was pretty cool!!! Good luck with your crop Jimmy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving eat lots of Pecan pie. I know ill try!!
GODS SPEED ENJOY
You too, Tim, and remember, eat all you can, it’s a “No Limit” day!! God Bless! jimmy
I've paid for 4 mission trips to Mexico by baking and selling pecan pies. My former church had a very small stand of pecan trees and i was allowed to pick up the pecan with which I would make chocolate pecan, apple pecan and regular pecan pies.🤟👏👍😎🙏🙏
That is so cool, Scrapper, thanks for sharing that. I know it puts a smile on Gods heart when something like that happens!! You have multiplied those pecans into eternity for many. So proud and happy for you!! Thanks. God Bless!! jimmy
Very interesting.
I'm always interested in way things are harvested and getting ready to ship out. Never knew how you get the pecans off the trees. My grandmother lived in Alabama and she had a few trees but I think they used long sticks too beat them out.
I hope to order some of your pecans come harvest time. I'm sure they're wonderful and will make great gifts.
They will be the best you’ve ever had, Kathleen! Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy
That was awesome
Mahalo and Aloha from the Big Isle "🤙"
Back at you, Stan!! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
The pecan tree groves here in Georgia are so beautiful at this time of year (July) and the pecans are very expensive to buy.
I love em. We have about a thousand trees. We will start taking orders Oct 1. I love those trees this time of year. Giant shade tree. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch I cannot open the video of the triplets update. Says it was removed by you?
How are you Jimmy nice to see you again how many pecan trees do you have on your farm you know what they say curiosity kills the cat God bless
We don’t really know for sure , Gary. Probably around a thousand. Never counted em. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy
when I was station at Ft. Hood,Tx. My motor pool Sgt.and me would take a deuc half pecan hunting .Take the front bumper against the tree and gently bump the tree until pecans start to rain down. Big paper shell pecan. I brought home for Xmas and awol bag for my Mom present .
Her eyes lit up and she could not believe it.That was in 1966.
That little trick works well, Albert, just need to be careful not to damage the tree or the bumper!! Lol. Never saw a Mom that didn’t love fresh pecans! Good move on your part!! Thanks for sharing that! God Bless! jimmy

I never knew! 🤔
Love it! I've been tempted to try a couple of pecan trees, not sure they'd do well here in southeast TN. I enjoy fooling with a couple of apple trees I have. I love farm work. I'm glad this years harvest is shaping up to be a good one for yall. I think you'd be in a real fix without Miss Chris and Apache!! God bless yall!!
Jimmy Iv seen them use parachutes under the trees to collect the almonds here in S Ca.
That’s sounds pretty cool. Thanks. Godspeed! jimmy
My favorite nut. The almighty Pecan. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Mine too, Dorothy, but a cashew is pretty tasty, as well!! Lol. Godspeed! jimmy
