RE: INDIANA STATE RECORD

If it was ruled sound, that ruling should stand for the very reason that something could occur to make it unsound prior to the next phase in the process. This is a black eye to any organization trying to conduct a certification process. The cause of the leakage very well may not have been related to handling at all, but if it escaped attention on inspection, then the grower should not be held at fault. Granted, he took the competition of the day, but since the IPGA is taking steps to make it clear they will NOT recognize the record, all interested in trying to surpass those records should openly debate this subject.

This is probably not what took place ( I wasn't there)

 But it leads me to a question,,,,,,,If a pumpkin is ruled sound before weighing & is damaged by putting it on the scales is it still ruled sound?

Dear Growers,

 

    The IPGA Board has came to a decision on Tom Beachy's New state record. We will not be recognizing this as the new record . Our ruling has been a hard decision . Tom is one of the top

growers in  Indiana & the first 1000+ in state .  Under the rules this pumpkin passed an intial

inspection but it started leaking pumpkin juice on the scale. This we feel as a group is not a sound fruit. The weight was recorded at HUBERS weigh-off & won first prize. The judges at the show allowed the weight to stand at the show. As a fairly new growers association we do not want the integrity or credability of our group to be comprimised with the "judges" decision making. Hopefully all will understand our decision at this time.

 

Thanks,

Bruce Gatewood

President  IPGA
