281 So. 2d 743; 1973 La. LEXIS 6231 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Department of Highways v. Luster

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana through the Department of Highways applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Natchitoches. 277 So.2d 181.

Writ denied. No error of law.

BARHAM, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. A crop of pecans is the yearly yield and is compensable. The trees that produce the crop are not themselves “a crop of pecans”.
