Has anybody tried small scale (10 acres) of strawberry farming? I know where a piece of land could be purchased at below market value. I know you would have to either buy or rent a plant setter. Am not sure herbicides are cleared for strawberries. Government approval is very expensive and the market is relatively small. Finding labor to pick berries would be another nightmare. Am not sure if you could get Hispanic labor for such a small acreage, the job would only last a couple of weeks. U-pick would be the easy way out but your clients would damage green berries.
I'm just kicking the idea around, would appreciate any input if anybody else has tried it.
Thanks.
