[QUOTE="jschoolcraft86, post: 1698659, member: 27711"] I have a pecan orchard in Seguin with trees spaced 30 x 30 on a diagonal (60 x 60 square with one tree in the middle, center tree to be removed later). I can't speak to the crops having success but I have baled my orchard and done well. If you don't get enough supplemental water you'll need more than an inch per week on those trees to make them do very well. I've always been told by the A&M guys you need 1" per week through june and 2" per week starting in july when they're filling. That 100' spacing is a whole lot of room I would shrink that down a little but at least you'll never have crowding issues. If you have the money for the trees I would even say start at 50' and then pull every other tree in about 25 years when they finally start getting somewhat close. I guess I got a little off the general question. I don't see any reason why your idea wouldn't work. Just pull the cows from the orchard within about 45 days of harvest. I forgot the exact interval but I'm sure it's available online or the extension service can tell you. [/QUOTE]
