Summary
Pumpkin farmers across Canada are reeling from extreme weather chaos—hailstorms, heatwaves, and droughts are decimating crops and throwing fall harvests into disarray. In Ontario, one farm lost 300 acres in a single hailstorm, while heavy rains triggered rot. Out west, extreme heat forced pumpkins to ripen early, and some farms in Alberta are even importing pumpkins because their own crops failed. Despite pockets of success thanks to favorable conditions, the real battle is the relentless unpredictability of nature, leaving growers stressed and uncertain about their livelihoods and seasonal attractions.
