Big Pumpkins

Every year I see stories like this:

BigPumpkins.com congratulates Joe Jutras on his 1689 pound pumpkin weighed at the Topsfield Fair GPC weigh-off in Topsfield, MA on September 29, 2007.

I have questions about growing such a pumpkin.

1 - What is the pumpkin used for, afterwards?
2 - What is the cost to grow such a pumpkin, per pound?
3 - Does USDA provide financial support to grow gigantic pumpkins?

Low-rent housing.


What is the cost to grow such a pumpkin, per pound?


Enough to make you need low-rent housing.


Does USDA provide financial support to grow gigantic pumpkins?


Oddly enough, I've never heard that it does, even out here in Half Moon Bay. Apply #1 to #3, though, and that might change.
