Thank you PNWPG for publishing those interviews. A person could learn so much from the knowledge contained in them. One thing about elite pumpkin growers that seems to stand out to me, they all are different and employ different techniques in their patch. None of them are growing identically to the other. They use information gleaned from hands on experience and also from what others have done and they process it and apply it in their unique growing situations. One thing that they all have in common is the following. They work their butt's off. I have heard growers say "the more you put into it the more you get out of it." Very true.
Another important thing I have thought about is this, you must learn to enjoy the process, Sometimes that means embracing the suck. Growers that can't or don't learn to appreciate the entire process often will quit growing after a few years because the rewards often don't beat the cost. Many, many growers have come and gone since I have been around BP. Many of them were elite too.
