I was thinking about this the other day and am curious to know. The 2152 Gantner is said to be the biggest HD winner ever. But, what are some of the other big HD winners? Say, top 10 biggest? Anyone know? Is there a list somewhere that I haven't found yet?

Some I have in my seed list
1892 Faust 2015 ( 1475 Garichanez x1882 Gehweller)
1718 Kline 2017 ( 1877 Kline x 2145 McMullen)
1710 Hopkins 2015 ( 2058 Hawkley x 1332 Midthun)
1576.5 LaRiviere 2018 ( 1297 Young x self)
1567 Gantner 2018 (. 1626 Gantner x 1418 Lehrer)
May be wrong on some of these but beside the 2152 these are the next five biggest I have.

I have the 1947.5 as a HD producer but not a winner. Is my info wrong?

That would be a neat list to see, I'm not sure where the easiest place to go to get all that info would be. I don't think pumpkin fanatic tracks HD winners.

Since it is awarded at GPC events, wouldn't someone at the GPC have a record of all HD winners?

Joe I think you are correct on the 1947.5, it was not an HD itself.

Some nice ones on that list Joe. I wish the HD winners got kept track of.

Here is another one to make your list Joe: 1604 Robinson 2017 Howard Dill Winner which was a cross of 1969 Haist x 2145 McMullen. And that is a very nice large and heavy cross. The pics on Pumpkin Fanatic are pretty good. Kerry Gross donated this seed to our prize pool in the Fantasy Pumpkin Growers League. We also have a HD winning D.Gantner seed in the prize pool.
