If an AG get's pollinated by a field pumpkin, squash ect. Does it affect the size of the AG for that year?

Hubbard, buttercup and banana are the more common ones that you can use (all in the same species).

Field pumpkins are a different species, so they won't pollinate an AG. Squash will (cucurbita maxima) and it won't affect the size of the AG for that year.
