Steve,
Why not grow Prizewinner variety. They have great color and are easier
for the customers to lift when they get them home. We used to grow 1,000 to
1,500 of them on five irrigated acres and sold every one. They average
about 140
pounds and go as high as 200. We wholesaled most of them. We even had a guy
that would come in after the main picking and take the small ones.

"Pink" or peach color is common. I have never had an AG turn bright orange
like a field pumpkin. Around here, people pay us big$ for "off" colored
pumpkins. I grow a couple of acres of field pumpkins and let local school
kids have field trips and such in October. Next year, my wife and I want to
set up a pumpkin auction for money to go to St. Judes Children's Hospital.
I
will share photos and results with this site.
P.S. Anyone out there interested in some seed swapping? I have been busting
a hump getting a new patch ready for Ags next year.
