Strawberry growers pioneer plasticulture in Kansas field
Jerry and Jane Wohlette embrace plasticulture to grow strawberries in raised plastic-covered beds, reducing pesticide use and improving moisture control. The system, new to the region, requires more labor and higher costs but yields easier picking and better berries. They employ cover crops and seven long row covers for frost protection, with trials on cover weights guiding their practices. Call 785-331-3468 for picking info.
