Gardener’s Outlook Finds Better Prices and Less Work
A Pittsburg market gardener with 27 acres near the city says land values have skyrocketed from $70 to $1,000 per acre. He notes railroads boosted competition, early crops like corn and tomatoes are the mainstay, and high prices offset rising costs. Dairy prospects improve with ample cheese supplies and expectations of lower prices. Swiss cheese remains limited though quality improves as Ohio cheese arrives.
