(Peoria, IL) — Pumpkin farmers in Illinois — where 90-percent of the nation’s pumpkins are grown — are reporting an off-year. Canned pumpkin manufacturer Libby says the yield could be off by as much as a third this year. Harvest continues through early November and despite the reduced yield, the company says there will be enough to meet the holiday demand.
