Talk:Sarah Frey

Paging
Paging for expansion. (Don't eat all the pumpkin pies before I get back...) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  17:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Oooh! did you know that today was National Ag Day? And did you say.... pumpkin... pie!!!!!??!!111?! Yummers! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:21, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, she also went by Sarah Frey-Talley. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 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)

Fascinating sidelight
According to the article,
 * 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. EEng 21:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No, H2A is a liquid fueled rocked used to deliver temporary agricultural workers into often deplorable conditions in the US. From my own great Commonwealth (not state) of Kentucky.  G M G  talk   21:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 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) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  22:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * (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.

Her name
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)
 * That was likely her married name, she's now divorced —valereee (talk) 19:35, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Dubious notability
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)
 * I (re)-wrote most of the article from scratch. I didn't get so much as an "attaboy", let alone anything of monetary value! <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  17:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
