Stephen Freeland

Stephen Freeland is a pumpkin farmer based in Cross Plains, Tennessee, who has been grappling with severe drought conditions that have significantly reduced his pumpkin yield by 15-20% this year. With 14 acres of land, Freeland has adapted to the drought by installing drip irrigation systems to provide his crops with the necessary water. He has expressed concerns about the impact of extreme heat on pollination and the overall size and marketability of his pumpkins.
