in, u.s., how many pounds of pumpkings were produced by major pumpkin-production states in 2004?

Answer 1

If this is for FastWeb, their "correct" answer is 998 million. However, their answer is WRONG.

The total number of pounds for those states is 1,021,900,000 pounds.

Illinois 457,200,000 pounds
Califonia 140,400,000 pounds
Ohio 111,600,000 pounds
Michigan 100,800,000 pounds
Pennsylvania 130,000,000 pounds
New York 81,900,000 pounds
Total 1,021,900,000 pounds

The United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service shows a total of 1,021,900,000 pounds for those six states.
