War Worker Invents Strawberry Barrel Venture
Floyd C. Rankin of Los Angeles, a Mare Island navy yard sheet metal worker, devised a simple strawberry barrel after illness kept him from work. He bored holes in a barrel filled with loam and fertilizer, planted strawberries, and sold ready barrels. A neighbor bought one, then others followed as a local ad drew fast demand. Rankin’s idea grew from a need to farm at home and provide berries at low cost.
