Strawberries are a profitable crop, 

 and the largest monetary truck crop 

 grown in this section and from which 

 the farmers derive the largest revenue. 



A dearborn load of eight crates sold 

 at one of our auction blocks was struck 

 off at $8.55 per 32 puart crate or 

 $68.40 for the load. Maryland ranks 

 second in strawberry production in the 

 United States.
