Here are some pumpkins that didn’t make the grade. This grower was contracted to only deliver a certain quality of pumpkin, so the ones that were damaged or malformed could not be delivered. The farmer has chosen to leave them in the field and till them back in later. Sounds like good fertilizer/compost to me. Click the picture above to see a few more high resolution pictures.
Hello, and thanks for checking out my blog. My name is Alex Tiller and I grew up in rural Ohio (Clark County) where my family still owns farmland (corn and beans ). I am a member of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers and am also an agribusiness author/blogger. I write about commercial farming, family farms, organic food production, sustainable agriculture, the local food movement, alternative renewable energy, hydroponics, agribusiness, farm entrepreneurship, and farm economics and farm policy. I visit lots of farms in different areas of the country (sometimes the world) that grow all kinds of different crops and share what I learn with you through this blog.
