Our little town features a pumpkin canning plant (about 50% of the US canned pumpkins are from here) and watching dozens upon dozens of trucks from all over the mid-west rolling in to off-load their harvest is fun to see. They pull onto a rack, get fastened down, and the whole rig ... tractor and trailer ... get tilted up to let the pumpkins slide off the truck. Amazing. The plant runs night and day through most of September and October or beyond.
