The Roba farms weighoff is a great venue for everyone to come and enjoy- there is so much to do for the non-pumpkin growers. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend due to other circumstances but I will miss battling with Andy and co. for the top squash! I hope everyone with a pumpkin left will consider this weighoff it is awesome! Best of luck! Jim Gerhardt

I'll probably show up! Should be interesting to see whats out there. Too bad you can't make it Jim.

I would really like to attend because I have heard great things about Roba Farms and all the great things for non growers to keep them busy while the weighoff is going on . But I only attend one GPC weighoff and Altoona is the closest .

Not sure if I will have anything to show there but will challenge anyone to a Holstein Pumpkin Cannon Shoot.

The pumpkin cannons at Roba farms are awesome!

Buff, 900lbs is a great pumpkin no matter what. You could squeak another 100lb out of there! Because it is early, Roba farms can be a tough weighoff depending on the year. This was a particularly crappy year for pumpkins so I would imagine a lot of growers will be in a hurry to get a big one to the scale. That is purely speculation. Two years ago I put a 1039.5 lb pumpkin on the scale at Roba's and got 9th place.

Buff, what seed did you grow it from?

A seed from a local grower that got me started with big pumpkins all I know it was called a 720 not sure where it originated from

I believe that is Ron Crawford's 720? Congrats on your PB Buff.
