Hello! I had a look at your wonderful contest and I decided to include it into my website that lists contests, check it out here: http://www.contestcompare.com/contests/17-tallyhoecontestforseptember
My guess is 895.
I am guessing 852 lbs.
I think I used an incorrect name earlier
763, though I hope it was more than that!
-Dan
username - stacyhpt guess is 841 pounds
my guess would be 758, hope its more though
I’m going to have to guess 932, but hopefully I’m WAAAAYYYY too low.
I am bad at this. I get close but never close enough. Now I’m feeling something in the 700 range. Let’s take a shot in the dark and say 715. And like others, I hope I’m laughably low.

I’m going to guess 680#, though I would be happy to wrong!
Thank you for all of your hard work informing all of us about your inspiring lives. I think that the September tally will be 627#. Low, but it has been a weird weather year. Even in Ohio.
Hmmm, , I’m hoping it’s more for your sakes but I know the weather affected my crops so …. 726 is my guess
Okay,…..how about…….698.
Hang in there everyone!!
832! No whammy! No whammy!
I guess you have harvested 580 pounds this month…..but hope it’s more!
Tace care!
Yvonne
I am going to stick with the same number as the last couple of months….and hope the actual number is higher!
My guess is 1,529 lbs.
We haven’t tallied up our harvest for the year yet because we are still picking some late veggies…chard, cabbage, late lettuce, etc. and we haven’t dug all the potatoes yet.
We are aiming for 1,000 lbs. I wish I had weighed the pumpkins and squash that the darn woodchuck destroyed!!!
Oohoo
My guess is 1,217 pounds
My guess is 720 pounds.
