@abc7chicago: Do you have your pumpkin yet for #Halloween? Finding one may not be a challenge, but the cost may be what scares you. Illinois is the largest pumpkin producer in the country. A lot of factors on the different prices this year. In central Kansas, farmers reported the worst pumpkin crop in a decade, because of extreme heat. Outside Green Bay, Wisconsin, weather cooperated enough to provide for an average crop. In Illinois, the farm bureau says southern Illinois saw an abundance of production, but If pumpkins need to be trucked in, high diesel prices could drive up the cost. #news #chicagonews
