“In Illinois, we grow at least three times more pumpkin than any other state,” said Mohammad Babadoost is a professor of plant pathology at the University of Illinois. “One time I calculated, the pumpkin industry – in my calculation – is over a $200 million industry in Illinois.”

How long before Springfield targets this niche industry for destruction?
A good Illinois story. Thanks for highlighting, WP.
