Dan,
And when they weighed the squash and claimed it to be a new record, didn't a
few growers question its validity and whether it counted or not. You start
bending the rules like the WPC has done in the past,(with a tarp without a
tarp etc) all credibility goes out the window. One of the reasons the WPC
is what it is today. Just my thoughts
