Joze Giants Pumpkin and Squash Pages

Hi, My name is Joe Ailts.  I have been growing AG's since 2001.  I am from Wisconsin and my personal best is 1056lbs.  As a member of the Central Wisconsin Pumpkin Growers, I attend the Nekoosa Giant Pumpkinfest held in Nekoosa, WI the first weekend in Oct.   Check out the articles I have written and the growth data I have collected.  We also sell Giant Pumpkins to the public! Email me with any questions you may have, I like to help.  Enjoy!

My dad and the 705 Ailts.  This beast split in August and was on track to top 950+.  Notice the blossom end explosion that ended any competition potential :(
