Obtaining Profit From Strawberries
Growing everbearing strawberries on a large scale for commercial purposes is discouraged by F S Merrill, horticulture instructor at Kansas State Agricultural College. A few 1915 profits arose from small fields due to ample moisture but irrigation costs in typical seasons are prohibitive. Standard varieties fetch high prices as first-market fruit, while overbearing types face stiff competition. For home use, overbearing varieties are useful since they bear fruit the same year planted, offsetting extra labor.
