What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Heavy rainfall in July resulted in significantly reduced pumpkin yields for local growers in the region. Keith Wright, who owns Wright Farms Pumpkins, reported that the harvest dropped from a typical 7,000 to 8,000 pumpkins to only about 700 or 800. The excessive rain caused the crop to stand in water for three weeks, which stunted the plants' growth.

The reduced crop forced Wright Farms Pumpkins to close for the season. This agricultural shock impacts local supply and market availability in Calloway County. Wright Farms Pumpkins was still able to sell some of the limited harvest to local institutions.
