SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (Edited News Release/KY3) - The annual Black Walnut Harvest has been going on across the Midwest since October 1. But the pace for the first three weeks was slow, as most nuts stayed on the trees.

Now, with recent winds and cooler air, the wild Black Walnuts have fallen, and local people have “money on the ground” – literally. Hammons Products Company in Stockton, Missouri, announced that its network of hullers will continue buying past October, with most going through Friday,

November 14. The buying price will continue at $13 per 100 pounds (after hulling) to individuals or groups who bring their freshly fallen Black Walnuts to one

of about 170 hulling sites in 13 states. There is no minimum amount – hullers will take nuts in one bucket, three sacks, or a trailer load.
