Pollen Count by Dr. Mary Jelks
The trees are releasing pollen early, but not nearly as many as last
year when we produced a record for oak pollen. The squirrels seem to
know the year will be good as we have a record number of young
squirrels. It is difficult to trap feral hogs when there are so many
acorns
