I have read that the guy that grows those mega pumpkin's gives out seeds if you want to try to grow one yourself. Archive: https://archive.today/ITqIx From the post: >>Jay Richard, Wyoming's Pumpkin King, won't be bringing a 2,000-pound pumpkin to the 2025 Wyoming State Championship Weigh Off and Pumpkin Drop on Oct.4. His colleague, Chad Kurtenbach, who's growing a pumpkin in his backyard in Lovell, might. "He's north of 1,800 pounds," Richard told Cowboy State Daily. "I'm thrilled for him, but I'm a little jealous, not gonna lie." Richard, Kurtenbach, and other growers from several states will be bringing giant gourds and the cream of their crop to Worland on Oct. 4. That will put some weight behind the reputations of the region's biggest and best growers of the season.
