View MePGO Fruit On AGGC
In Cooperation with the Atlantic Giant Genetics Cooperative we are introducing a new feature for MePGO. By clicking the link below, you can view information on all Maine fruit weighed at Cumberland Fair and Windsor Fair for 2005 and 2006 existing on AGGC, including fruit info, heirarchy trees and pictures of the fruit, direct from AGGC. You can also add information on a fruit over 500 Lbs. weighed at Cumby by clicking on the "Data entry form" link near the top of the form. The more fruit added to AGGC, the more fruit MePGO will be able to view and research so if your 500plus Lb. fruit does not appear in the listings, fill out the form with as much info as possible and submit it to AGGC. A big thanks to Mike Nepereny for providing this feature to pumpkin clubs.
