Winston Wyckoff III uncovers the 1,279-pound pumpkin that broke the Ohio state record at the Barnesville Pumpkin Festival in Barnesville, Ohio. The pumpkin, grown on land Wyckoff’s family has farmed for nearly two centuries, beat the previous state record by 139 pounds and was just 58 pounds short of the biggest pumpkin on record — a 1,337-pounder grown in New Hampshire last year. .
