Our Annual Convention & Trade Show brings together industry professionals and vendors from Oklahoma’s pecan region for three full days! From our Pecan and Food Shows to our Spring Field Day, you won’t want to miss this convention.
You Won’t Want to Miss This!
Due to the continued uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and the logistical regulations involved in large gatherings, the TPGA Board of Directors and staff made the decision to cancel this year’s Fall Field Day in Brownwood, Texas that was to be held on September 2nd. TPGA plans to host another Texas Pecan Growers Webinar on September 2nd to focus on marketing after seeing great success with the first webinar. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the 100th Annual Texas Pecan Growers Annual Conference & Trade Show in San Marcos, TX on July 17-21, 2021!
NOTE: Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Western Pecan Production Short Course has been postponed!

Many varieties of pecan are alternate-bearing. This means that one year the tree will produce large quantities of nuts and the following year they will produce smaller harvests.
Pecan trees can live to over 200 years.
Pecans are the only tree nut that is truly native to the United States.
In 2018, New Mexico replaced Georgia as the top producing state for Pecans.
