🎃 Neuer Weltrekord im Kürbiswiegen - New World Record Pumpkin Weigh-Off

Swiss gardener Beni Meier from Pfungen set a new record at the weigh-off in Jona, Switzerland, on sunday.
His giant pumpkin weighed 2096 lbs (953,5 kg). The weigh-off took place at Bächli-Hof, a farm located about 35 km from Zurich at Lake Zurich. Meier is the first european to win the competition. About a week ago Meier won the competition in Klaistow, Germany, which already won him the world record.
Beni Meier would have won the weigh-off already last year with a pumpkin of more than a ton. But his Atlantic Giant had a small hole which excluded him from the competition.
Meier took home 1,500 swiss francs and a bonus of 2,400 francs for his world record.

Sehr interessant. Davon habe ich noch nicht gehört. Es sollte vielleicht wirklich besser einen Preis für den schönsten und leckersten Kürbis geben. :-)

I'm sorry, but I don't have Beni Meier's email address. But have a look here:http://www.culinarium.ch/G%C3%A4rtnerei-Meier-AG-Neftenbach/tabid/94/default.aspx?md=30756
It seems that there is an email address from his parent's garden company.
