Libby's is *the* major pumpkin supplier for the Midwest.  They grow *all 
*their pumpkins in *one* spot in Illinois.  Last year that area was 
deluged with rain at harvest time and the pumpkins couldn't be harvested 
in time.  They ended up rotting in the fields. One of the big grocery 
chains here imported Stuckey's (?) pumpkin for awhile -- but that was 
all gone by January/February.  So there has been a definite pumpkin 
crisis here in MN.
