Incredible! Will the world record hold or are there bigger out there to be weighed in the next couple of weeks. Nearly every year a new record is set. Is it that the genetics of the seeds are improved or are growing techniques improving? Congratulations to Craig.

I only wish! My estimated weight is 400lbs less then the new world record. It would have to be 50% over the charts, and that won't happen.

Your 30 pounder was heavy, by 27.6% wow that would be a whole 8lbs.
