Some Successions for Berry Growers
Canon berries do not reach the city market in top condition. Overwatering and improper irrigation are common issues. Many new growers lack irrigation knowledge, while veterans may neglect it. Berries should be planted and cared for so the fruit does not get wet during irrigation. Irrigation should occur after four p.m.
Berry picking and packing standards in morning hours
Berries should not be picked in the heat of the day. All picking should occur before ten in the morning whenever possible. Some growers neglect packing quality. A grower with a strong reputation for berry quality and packing can typically command a higher price than standard market quotes.
