Pile up everything that hipsters eat made out of pumpkin and it won't register as a blip on our productions radar. Pumpkins are a rough product for the grower, when you think about it.
Seasonal demand.
Purchased by sight.
Long time in the field.
Enormous footprint on the production space.
Chronically ill.
They're in the grey area where it's not like growing fieldcorn...but it aint quite like growing yuppie chow either.
(Personally, I think we should retire the pumpkin, just about every other winter squash crushes it in every relevant metric. They're easier to grow, people like them more, and they're more profitable.)
