We got paid to climb the pecan trees with a pole to "frail" the nuts back in high school. $2 per squirrel before the harvest when in high school WAY back in the day.
Land owner had parachutes from military surplus. He would spread them around the tree, had the public come in to pick them off the ground after we frailed them. The public got 1/2 the harvest, and we got 1/2 of the owners share. Pecan buyers were pretty common then, not so much now unless your a commercial operation.
You never had your almonds milked?You got a video on milking the almonds? Thats what I always wondered is how many teets and almond has.
My Dad thwarted a similar situation.When I was a kid(many many moons ago) my parents and I would go East of Stillwater to pick pecans on such an arrangement as you described. One time we saw a guy throw a gunny sack of pecans over his shoulder, jump the fence to a car waiting on the country road and leave - I guess he got 100% of his pecan “share/harvest”.
