Cone Collection Methods and Costs

Since the establishment of the seed production areas in Mississippi in 1955, we have been experimenting with methods to economically collect cones. As far as cost per pound goes, it is very hard to compete with the individual cone collector who collects cones from the easiest and, usually, undesirable trees in the general forest area. The method of cone collection is changed somewhat by the more elaborate type of equipment needed to collect cones from the better quality trees. A method has to be found which is safe and yet be economical.
