About Pumpkins.
If you have a 100 acre field of what is referred to as field corn would your wife pull it and can it for eating in the winter? I think she would prefer a different verity in the sweet corn category.
Pumpkins come in different verities as well. If you plant 100 acres of pie pumpkins without a cannery contract you will get to disk most of them down every year as they are to small for most peoples idea of fall decorations.
Another factor this year is the same problem as the corn crop has with mold. A lot of the pumpkins this year, because of the weather, started to get soft before the could be picked.
