Yesterday, heard on the news that Nestle's is reporting a canned pumpkin shortage and they will NOT be shipping any canned pumpkin after Thanksgiving. Supposedly due to heavy rains ruining the crop. Nestle's supposedly controls 85% of the US market. I am sure that every housewife is now running to the market to clean out the shelves.
Funny thing is that I recall recently seeing pix on this forum (I think it was here) of pumpkins being harvested in Illinois. They were flying into semi-trucks and poster stated these were NOT your Halloween type pumpkins. Could supposedly stand up to a baseball bat beating. I also recall the poster saying much the same thing as the newsman that there were 4 plants in the area that produced the majority of the US canned pumpkin.
Can any of you Illinois farmers comment on this? Is it real or is Nestle's just trying to drive up the price and get product off the shelf? It's interesting that this news would be released just before the holiday season when most of the pumpkin pie is made. Plus, with a shortage looming, I just got a taste for pumpkin pie. LOL.
