A Minnesota horticulture teacher set a world record in California on Monday for the heaviest pumpkin after growing a giant jack-o’-lantern gourd weighing 2,749 pounds (1,247 kilograms).
Travis Gienger of Anoka, Minnesota, won the 50th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, California, with an enormous, lumpy, orange pumpkin that could produce at least 687 pies.
“I was not expecting that. It was quite the feeling,” said Gienger, 43, who has been growing pumpkins for nearly 30 years and last year set a new U.S. record for growing a giant gourd.
Meanwhile people are unable to get food or water for themselves but farms can overgrow crops for funsies.
No one’s allowed any fun unless all suffering ends. This makes sense.
He’s not a farmer, he’s a teacher. It says it right in the body of the post.
Ever grown a pumpkin, or a gourd of any sort? It’s a giant ball of water and cell walls.
Save your rage for something meaningful kid.
Also said in the article the pumpkin could make something like 647 or 847 pies or whatever. Is that not food?
