ebinmaine 80,893 #2 Posted Friday at 09:58 PM Interesting to see all the "sad" reactions. This isn't sad. It's good business and agricultural practice. Up here there are many farms that grow several times the pumpkins needed because it's easy. The good ones sell. The rest go right back in the ground as enrichment. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems the key is to produce a quality product as early as possible in the growing season to bring the best price. Later in the season as the market is flooded and the price drops the labor force needs to concentrate on harvesting the next product and the excess becomes fertilizer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
