Japanese Increase in Pierce County Small Fruit Land
Horticulture Inspector Huff reports Pierce County has about 1 014 acres of its 1 77 land devoted to small fruit under Japanese ownership. Japanese growers have become a stable force in the market, though whites still dominate white strawberry sales. They sell at lower prices, while American growers develop technique and longer experience in fruit farming. The situation reflects cooperative and independent efforts amid changing land use.
