Leading up to halloween, pumpkin growers are seeing mixed results among their harvests because of this year’s drought.
Some pumpkin growers in Iowa are reporting a successful harvest, while others have lost their entire crop because the pumpkins ripened too early.

About Michael Gallagher
I am originally from outside of Chicago, but I have spent the last five years in Iowa pursuing my education. From 2006-2010 I attended Grinnell College, where I received a B.A. in English. Currently, I am a graduate student in the University of Iowa's journalism department.
In addition to my work for CGRER, I write for the non-profit investigative reporting organization Iowa Watch. Previously, I worked as a freelance writer, primarily contributing to Hoopla (The Gazette's arts and culture publication), and I assistant coached the Grinnell College cross country and track teams for a year.
My interests include writing, running, watching the Chicago Bulls, and . . . environmental news!
Our hearts go out to those who continue to struggle due to the draught conditions that adversely affect their livelihood and their quality of life.
