Start Date: 9/15/2023 -  
Texas pumpkin growers have had vines damaged by heat and drought. some vines died early, and yield was lower than usual. The lack of rainfall led some farmers to replant their crops and irrigate. About 5,000 to 8,000 acres are planted annually in Texas, with 90% in the west Texas region. Midland Reporter-Telegram (Texas), Sept 15, 2023
