STILLWATER -- These workers in Columbia County have their hands full this fall, getting pumpkins ready to be shipped out all over the Northeast.
Brian Campbell Farms outside of Benton is the primary pumpkin supplier to Walmart Distribution Centers in the Northeast, and this year there are plenty of pumpkins to go around.
Brian Campbell the owner of the farm estimates this year they were able to grow more than 525,000 pumpkins.
That's good news after all of the rain they had last year.
"We are with one of the best pumpkin years ever and it's hopefully going to catch up to our shortfalls from the last two years," Brian Campbell said.
Here's a look at what the farm looked like last year after a summer storm dumped more than five inches of rain in northern Columbia County.
The pumpkin patch lost between $15,000 - $20,000 in sales because a lot of the pumpkins could not be shipped out.
"Pumpkins do not like excessive amounts of water, so the pumpkins took on excessive water and there was some decay that started to settle in, which therefore ruined the yield with a lot of our pumpkins last year," Campbell said.
For workers like Luis Lopez, he's happy that he's spending more time packing up pumpkins than cleaning them up.
"We like having a lot of pumpkins. More work for everybody, more money to bring home," Luis Lopez said.
The owner of the farm says this year they will send at least 120,000 more pumpkins to Walmart than they did last year.
Many of the pumpkins are sent to the Walmart Distribution Center in Pottsville which are then distributed locally.
Campbell says while many people are happy with the lack of rain this year, he says he couldn't be happier.
"Lets hope we don't see any hurricane remnants in the near future," Campbell said.
