I am creating a weigh-off record quick reference guide and am unable to find the following current record info:

Ohio green squash
Ohio bushel gourd
Ohio tomato
World, Ohio, and North American tall sunflower
World, Ohio, and North American sunflower head
Ohio field pumpkin
Ohio long gourd

Any and all help would be appreciated. The SOGPG is widening its scope of competition to let more people in on the fun of competitive growing.

Thanks so much Brother! If there is any interest, I'll share my final compilation. I thought it would be handy to have a quick reference list at our weigh-off to generate a little drama.

Congratulations are in order for you guys for a fantastic weigh-off! I'm going to have to make it up there. I saw Todd and Donna's 2112 weighed at Oakland and thought it was perfect in every way. We'd love to feature some of their seeds in our auction.

I seem to recall a photo of Marvin Mitchell with the world record tall sunflower, but I don't recall its height.
