Texas agricultural production for the 2026 season faces varied outcomes across different crops due to market volatility and environmental stressors.

Pecan production forecasts have risen, with estimates ranging from 39 million to 42 million pounds. However, growers face risks from extreme heat, dry weather, and diseases such as pecan scab and powdery mildew. Economic pressures from rising costs for fuel and fertilizer are also impacting profit margins.

In contrast, peanut acreage in Texas has declined to approximately 145,000 acres. This reduction is attributed to downward price pressure from a large 2025 supply and a shift toward more drought-tolerant crops. Additionally, peanut crops experienced significant environmental stress from sustained high temperatures exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months.
