Western Belle Farm, located in West, Texas, within the Waco-Temple-Bryan region, is navigating a challenging fall season after experiencing a complete loss of its homegrown pumpkin crop earlier this summer. The agricultural setback was attributed to severe drought conditions and extreme heat that impacted the region throughout the growing season.

Despite the disappointment of not being able to offer pumpkins grown on their own land, the farm has opened its gates for the fall season. To continue serving visitors, Western Belle Farm has sourced pumpkins from other farms across Texas. This ensures that the traditional autumn attraction remains available to the public.

The loss of the pumpkin crop represents a significant agricultural impact for the farm, highlighting the persistent effects of adverse weather patterns on local agriculture.
