(Wheatland, CA) – For the 2nd year in a row, Bishops Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland hosted America’s National Pumpkin Weigh Off Saturday.

Congratulations to Jim Sherwood of Oregon, the 2024 U.S. Champion, with a pumpkin weighing in at 2,453 pounds.

That misses the world record by only aroubd 300 pounds, which would have added a $30,000 bonus. However Sherwood does take home $22,077, at $9 a pound.
