The previous Guinness World record for the Largest Pumpkin weighed 1,725 and was grown last year in Ohio.

Chris Stevens of New Richmond, Wis., submitted his giant gourd at the Stillwater Harvest Fest.
   When the official weight was announced, the 32-year-old contractor pumped his fist and the crowd roared.

    Stevens says his secret is a precise mixture of sunshine, rain, cow manure, fish emulsion and seaweed.
