The 2024 growing season was good for many Texas pumpkin producers, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert and pumpkin farmers. Yields and quality were mostly better than in 2023. This year’s pumpkin yields were below average but were better than the previous year when output was down 20% to 40% on average due to drought. The dry weather and extreme heat left the pumpkins slightly smaller than average.
