Congratulations to all of the growers who participated today. We had 50 AGs show up (2 squash), a site record fruit, and two that broke the previous WI state record. Compared to recent years, we also had a very strong showing in the other GPC categories. Thanks to everyone who made the trip!

Wow, it looks like the upper midwest growers reigned supreme this year! Will this emerge as a trend in the future? Or will weather conditions help dictate where the biggest pumpkins will be grown each year? There a lot of great farmland in the upper midwest. Having a good soilbase should be quite helpful I would think. Congrats to the Stillwater weighoff and all the growers!

One hell of a weigh off, I went light at 1965, had to look at leaderboard 5 times to make sure I'd even make the top 10. One of the most impressive things I have ever been apart of!
