Donald Young and Tommy Rhodes SQUASHED the competition at this year’s Iowa State Fair Super Pumpkin Squash Weigh-In.

Their behemoth had to be lifted onto the scale using bungee cords and a forklift and came in 760 pounds.

Two years ago, Tommy Rhodes joined Young’s effort to grow pumped up pumpkins. Young says the seeds they plant are literally known as “American Giants.”

Young has held the state record for 12 years, though his ambition is to set the world record for heaviest pumpkin. The current record is two-thousand-six-hundred-24 (2624) pounds.
