Weather Favorable For Record Louisiana Strawberries
Hammond La March 8 The weather across the Louisiana strawberry belt remains ideal and prospects point to one of the best crops in history for quality. Bloom loss has been minimal and the heavy set suggests acreage losses will be offset. If warm dry conditions persist picking should start late this week with carrots moving by March 20 and rising daily until April 1. Concerns over refrigerator cars and icing facilities have eased as provision is expected before movement begins. Growers and shippers are optimistic for a successful season.
