Any long time farmer knows you need to prune your trees regularly for
maximum health. Coffee, for example, needs pruning yearly to assure
the new growth is healthy. Coffee is relatively short, growing to
maybe 10 feet max. Pecan trees are bigger (sorry never seen one) and
I am sure the county extension agent there in Pecan-country has fact
sheets on how to farm the Pecans. Pruning, fertilising, harvest etc.

As a coffee farmer, I just hate to hear of anybody losing their crop.
You don't get rich in farming- you choose the lifestyle- but you have
many bills to pay. And FYI, most of us get absolutely no subsidies.
