Hammons extends Black Walnut Harvest, increases buying price

Hammons Products has extended its annual Black Walnut Harvest through Nov. 30 and raised its buying price to $16 per 100 pounds of hulled nuts. The extension comes as above-normal temperatures and a lack of rain delayed the fall of wild black walnuts in recent weeks, according to a community announcement. The Stockton, Missouri-based company said in the announcement that most of its network of about 170 hulling sites in 12 states will continue buying through Nov. 30. There is no minimum amount required, with hulling sites accepting anything from a bucket of nuts to a trailer load. Brian Hammons, CEO of Hammons Products, said the harvest had been slow because many nuts remained on trees longer than usual. “Now, with shorter days and cooler air, the wild Black Walnuts are finally falling and local people have ‘money on the ground’ — literally,” Hammons said in the announcement. Missouri black walnut crop expected to pick up The black walnut crop appears to be decent across much of Missouri, according to the announcement, and the company expects harvest activity to increase as more nuts fall. “We hope and pray that the weather cooperates so folks can get them in. There’s still

Missouri's fall turkey harvest drops from last season

Missouri hunters harvested 1,633 wild turkeys during the firearms portion of the fall turkey season from Oct. 1-31. The preliminary total comes from the Missouri Department of Conservation, according to a community announcement. Greene County recorded the highest harvest with 56 birds, while Laclede and Perry counties each recorded 42. The total was down from the 1,950 turkeys harvested during the 2025 fall firearms season. Weather, wet spring might have contributed to decline MDC Turkey Biologist Nick Oakley said that unusually warm weather during the first two weekends of the firearms season might have contributed to the lower harvest. Wet spring conditions also affected turkey reproduction, according to the announcement. "Temperatures were well above normal across much of Missouri during the first two weekends of the fall firearms season, which likely accounts for some of the drop in harvest,” Oakley said in the announcement. “We also had a very wet spring, which hurts nest success and poult survival, so there are fewer young birds on the landscape this fall.” Fall archery turkey season continues Missouri's fall archery turkey season continues through Nov. 13. It resumes Nov. 25 and runs through Jan. 15, 2027. Current county-by-county fall firearms turkey harvest figures
