Pumpkin supply concerns are growing across the country because of heavy spring and summer rains.
Illinois, the country's largest producer of pumpkins, is especially concerned.

Libby's, a manufacturer of canned pumpkin, is located in Illinois in an area that was hit hard. (Video via Nestlé)
The company is owned by Nestle, which says it expects to ship the last batch in mid-November, and it won't have more until next summer's harvest. (Video via Nestle)
So you're probably fine if you want pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving if you don't wait until the last second to shop. But it's probably a good idea to stock up for Christmas.
Nestle also said the price of canned pumpkin is up this year, but that was already planned before the harvest issues. (Video via Nestle)
Sadly, the shortage comes after the Illinois House voted earlier this year to make pumpkin pie the official state pie.
