I read the article "Giant-pumpkin growing brothers prepare for family-friendly festival and weigh-off" from the Denver Post subscription. It is about two brothers that are growing a 1000+ pound pumpkin for a contest here in Colorado. In order to get this big it has to grow at least 30 pounds a day. This matters to me because it made me realize how we are moving forward and getting more advanced in almost everything from technology to agriculture. This matters to education because people are actually learning and figuring out how to do things like this. This matters to the world by if we can get that big of pumpkins then we could probably make other fruits and vegetables that big which will change prices and quantities of food, and a lot of food would go to waste in the end. I thought this article was both informational and a little surreal.
