Is there a state by state list of record giant vegetables? Not just pumpkin, but long gourd, tomato, watermelon, etc.
I've been bending the internet and can not seem to find any records lists for South Dakota.

Lance, records for South Dakota

Pumpkin 1674 Kevin Marsh 2010
Tomato 2.37 Matt Winey 2011
Watermelon 223.5 Kevin Marsh 2010
Long Gourd 93.75 Matt Winey 2011
Bushel Gourd 369 Kevin Marsh 2019

This is from going to tools.pumpkinfanatic.com and following the other links. And clicking on city/state statitistic

If I ever move back to South Dakota, that tomato record is going down fast

Thanks alot. Seems that Kevin and Matt's name come up often. I've met both of them briefly, and hope to get to know them better.

I have known both Kevin and Matt for many years. Awesome growers, and really nice people. I hope to have something to bring to Rapid this fall. I am still working in getting a seed package ready to send to you Lance. I know I have some long gourd seeds, but do not know how good they are. I certainly can send you some 1211 seeds, I have a whole bag of them, but i was really not impressed with them. They might have won the HD award in RC, but they didn't have the orange shine that I saw from another 1109 offspring. Haan the year before...had an awesome result from the 1109. I only have a few 1109 seeds left..hopefully one of them has that shine.
