Top producers are: 848 Mackenzie*, 824 Brunst* and 1055 Pitura*.
Our 995* produced our 1132* lb squash, (although colour challanged), the 998 combines the 848 and the 824. The 1132 was crossed back to the 824. The 995 was grown by at least two other growers this year. All three went between 10-14% Heavy, with no defects. The other two were solid green.

Dave, I've got an 824 x 550 Langevin ( 1450 x 1068 )cross that went 10% heavy this year, if they spit green they should be mean. also seen you may have an 985 Werner in another post. would be interested in that seed also, have other seeds to trade as well, Bill
