Re: Austin MN Weigh Off Results - Some Strange Things.....

Howdy!
My 723 was from a 400 Reynolds and my biggest ever.  (Thanks Alan!!!!)
(Crossed with an 850 Wallace by George Heyne!  Thanks George!  He is the area expert in Pollination!)
Some Very Strange things:
1. On 8/14, I posted Al Eaton's Estimate for the pumpkin on this forum:
"400 Reynolds - day 43 - 470lbs(current) + 13.75lbs/day * 1/2 * 37 days = 724
lbs."  Al's Estimate was only 1 lb off!!!!  Can you believe it!
2. The pumpkin measured 330" OTT - 722lbs on the chart... only 1 lb off again!
3. Al's formula on the #2 pumpkin in the patch: off by 13.5lbs...still awfully close!
   Also in the 8/14 note!   (624 Eaton Estimate)
4. The #2 pumpkin was 316" OTT - 636lbs on the chart..off by only 1.5 lbs.
5. So for 1347 lbs of pumpkin...the chart was off by only 2.5lbs!  (Do we need a new chart? :-)
Anyways, it was a beautiful sunny day in SE MN...just great to be alive to enjoy it.
