Heavy rains in the summer has caused the pumpkin harvest to drop on several farms in the area. Saunders and Foster farms estimate their losses at about 40 per cent, as some fields have been flooded to the point of suffocating the plants. Saunders Farm now has to source more from other producers. As Halloween approaches, producers are advising consumers to buy their pumpkins earlier.
