 According to the Illinois Department of Agriculture, 95% of the U.S. crop intended for processing is grown in Illinois.Nestlé, operating under the brand name "Libby's", produces 85% of the processed pumpkin in the United States, at their plant in Morton, Illinois.In the fall of 2009, rain in Illinois devastated the Nestlé crop, which combined with a relatively weak 2008 crop depleting that year's reserves resulted in a shortage affecting the entire country during the Thanksgiving holiday season.
