RE: Hello...

Here you go: 
"Pumpkins are seen as a profitable opportunity by many farmers. Because of this, pumpkin acreage has expanded greatly in recent years and competition in the pumpkin market is increasing. Around 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins are produced on 75,000 acres in the United States annually. Pumpkin acreage expanded by almost 18 percent nationally between 1992 and 1997, with a similar increase in acreage in Pennsylvania. Many neighboring states (including New York, Ohio, New Jersey, and Michigan) have also expanded their acreage. According to the 1997 Census of Agriculture, the top ten states in pumpkin acreage are Illinois, New York, California, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, Texas, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Data on production value is sketchy, but it likely exceeds $150 million annually in the United States. In the late 1990s, Pennsylvania farmers produced an average of 95 million pounds of pumpkins on 4,800 acres, generating approximately $9.5 million in gross receipts annually."
So if you do some very, very fuzzy math, it works out to something like 15,000,000 pumpkins?

I veiwed your site and thought that you might be able to answer a question
that I need answered for a report that I am doing; Do you know how many
pumpkins are grown and/or sold on a yearly basis in the US?  Or, would you
know where I might find that information?
Thank you,
