As we come down the home stretch for the weigh-off season I did some preliminary figures on the standings for the 2017 Grower of the Year award.

5,883 - Todd & Donna Skinner
5,823 - Steve Sperry
5,605 - Joel Holland
5,364 - Cindy Tobeck
5,203 - Joe Jutras (this is with all squash many kudos Joe!!!)

These are unofficial & there are many sites that have not submitted their results so if there is any mistakes or missed entries keep this in mind. Now are there any dark horses not accounted for that might creep in at the wire?

I wouldn't discount Jim Sherwood yet either especially if he's going to Ohio, then he has the Terminator yet

How is the grower of the year determined? Biggest grown in the year? Total weight grown on 3 plants? Is the award subjectively based?

Thanks

Hey Wizzy, I have an algorithm worked out for quickly doing the GOTY calculation on the full data set once we get names formatted the same. Hit me up once all the data are in and approved and we can bang it out super fast.

Vineman & Gads - one of your official GPC listed weights don't match yours shown above. Are corrections needed?

My post above was incorrect. I ended up a couple pounds under 5000lbs.

Bathabit, you are correct, typo on our post should read 1532, 1748 and 1803 for a total of = 5083.
4# does make a big difference (isnt that right "Terminator" Tree Doctor) oh wait Jim, Dani and I smoked you by 5# there so room to spare at that one! (LOL)

Thank you Mr Holub for pointing out the typo!

11/3/2017 11:31:05 PM

Give it a rest Gerry, last time I checked 5110 is bigger than 5083 or 5087 or whatever number you made up! Lol
