Central Illinois primes country's pumpkin pie passion

This story could have done a little more to mine the culinary aspects of major-league pie-pumpkin production -- like asking the pumpkin-processing plant manager, who must taste a pie every day, what makes the best pies -- but even so, it's a nice look at an area of the Thanksgiving feast that gets overlooked. It's also a nice reminder NOT to cook up that gassy old pumpkin that has been sitting on your front porch since Halloween.
