EARLY HARVEST PROGRAM

The Early Harvest Program is used to advance the harvest date in order to preserve the quality of the walnuts. Poindexter Nut Company pays for the Etherol and the growers pay for the application. Higher quality walnuts result in increased value and marketability of the product and in return, more money for the growers.

HULLING AND DRYING

We provide the highest level of hulling and drying services. During the walnut harvest, time is of the essence and we have a dedicated team to ensure your crop is handled in a timely and efficient manner.
