For those of you that were not in Las Vegas for the anouncement.
the 2012 Featured Vegetable is Field Pumpkins
what this means is: The largest Field Pumpkin grown in 2012 will receive an added bonus of $1000.00

Good luck to you all.

In the event of 2 or more fruit equalling the same size, as we know can happen. The prize of $1000.00 will be divided.

I am not sure of the GPC definition but a Field Pumpkin is a C Pepo, with a hard stem with 5 sides, turns from green to orange.

So, all field pumpkins are C. pepo and not just any pumpkin grown in a field excluding Atlantic Giants. Thanks.
