Is this out yet? If so, can it be accessed on the internet?

Don't think it is going, to be published. There is much duplication with other existing lists. I takes hundreds of hours and is major expense, to collect that data. There are just simply, to many fruit being grown, to find and record.

Likely what is now important is the recording and tracing of 1100 lbs and up. 1000 pounders are becoming quite common. The very good seed like the Beachy 1097.5 will still be known and available to the attentative grower.

I doubt that anyone could or would trace and record the zillions, of ho hummer run, of the mill just nice pumpkins.

The way that list worked was, on the individual's help and desire, to be listed and on weigh off site measurements. Even before Marve was taking over this responsibility people and sometimes whole sites did not mail him the data.

With present organizational structure and computer use coupled with or lacking effciency it appears that the accurate accounting can no longer be done if done at all.

This is strictly my personal assessment. It is not related, to any other individual's opinion or any other organizational opinion.
