Ok, lets have some fun. Guess the weight of the largest melon this year. I'll donate a set of any of my seeds the winner wants. You can add comments or grower if you want.
The weighoff season gets started this weekend in Cullman, Al.

Hard to say, I don't have many pictures to go by. If Chris says 305, it means he either is either sandbagging or doesn't have any he is really impressed with. I have never known Chris to sandbag so my guess is that environmental conditions haven't been right for him this year. My guess would the biggest melons will come out of Ohio or Kentucky. The weight will be 325 pounds.

closes wins with the bias to the under. If no one hits it exact, then if 2 are equal away, the winner is the one that didn't go over. EX= high weight is 310., the closes guesses are 309 and 311, 309 will win. but if no 309, then 311 would win. IS that clear??
