When we’re working in the retail barn during pumpkin season, the sound of the tractor means one thing…PUMPKINS! When we hear the tractor coming we head out to the scale to weigh customer pumpkins and see what they’ve found in the field. I don’t care who you are, it’s exciting to see what has taken shape over the last 3 months from just a seed in the ground.
