[QUOTE="jschoolcraft86, post: 1605040, member: 27711"] The texan cracker that hippierancher linked to is a good one. I use that as well as an electric cracker that just does one at a time. The texan cracker does take a little while to get used to but it's worth it. I generally take larger loads to Goldthwaite (Highway 84 Pecans or Pecans.com) and they do a great job of cracking and shelling, not sure how much your trees are producing. Both places in Goldthwaite charge about 1.00 per pound inshell weight and you can assume you'll get about 50% kernel back after shelling. The pawnee might come back closer to 60% and some of the others may be upper 40s if you're interested in trying to forecast what your shelled yield would be before you make the drive. Of the four varieties you have which is your favorite? I think the choctaw have the best taste, but when I plant another 10 acres starting this winter I think it is going to be a mix of Pawnee and Kanza. We have some trees from each of the varieties you listed other than Kanza, but I hear really good things about it (The grand champion nut in our county pecan show for the last several years has been Kanza).
