I didn't know that, but it does seem to be appropriate to be writing about, as you might put it, a kick-ass pumpkin farmer. The Frey-Talley comes from when she was married, then she reverted to her maiden name. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)20:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As of 2017, Frey Farms is the largest H-2A employer in Illinois, and recruits around 250 staff to assist with the pumpkin harvest
Following the link, I learn that H-2A is a liquid-fueled rocket used to launch satellites into orbit and so on – no mention of their use in pumpkin harvesting or other forms of agriculture. One or the other article should be expanded to explain this intriguing connection. EEng21:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, we don't have H-2As over this side of the pond so I'm unfamiliar with the term. Mind you, I am intrigued to know if you could harvest pumpkins via liquid-fueled rockets now. It'll make the harvest go off like a, well, bang. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)22:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(In continued gross violation of NOTFORUM, don't judge me, I'm cooking dinner) Nah. Liquid can be turned off. It's the solid you have to watch out for.[1]
Her book, she is credited as author under the name of Sarah Marie Talley. All recent references refer to her exclusively as "Sarah Frey-Talley". Neither of these are covered in the article. It appears that, at the very least, the article should be moved to "Sarah Frey-Talley". The Rambling Man (talk) 21:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed a Guardian source that was subtitled "paid for by Principal", i.e. it was a paid article. The notability here is a little suspect. I see prnewswire used as a source... how much of this is paid hype? It's a reasonable question.104.163.159.237 (talk) 03:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
