Here are three statistics about pumpkins in Texas: As a disclaimer, I love pumpkin(s) patches, pies, muffins, bread, soup, H-E-B pumpkin Ice Cream, coffee 😉 and #Texas. Texas grows approximately 5,000 acres of pumpkins annually, with most production concentrated in the High Plains region near #Floydada, which is well known as the "Pumpkin Capital of Texas." The average pumpkin yield in Texas is around 30,000 pounds per acre under irrigated conditions (though this can vary based on weather and growing conditions.) Texas is one of the top six pumpkin-producing states in the U.S., and its annual crop value is estimated between $3 and $4 million. #SupportFarmers #PumpkinPatches #TXAG

Enjoy this piece I wrote for the Jersey County Fair Association's Agriculture Education Center, where I highlight some of the changes and developments in local agriculture in arguably the most turbulent and agile century the world has ever known. https://lnkd.in/grTeyKzP
