Strawberries as a Money Crop 



"How much money can I make from an acre of strawberries?" Frankly, we do not know. 

 We do have faith, however, in strawberries as a money crop. If we can judge the future by the 

 past, the prospect is good. During the past ten or fifteen years we feel safe in saying that 95% 

 of the better growers of strawberries have made some profit from them, and in many of these 

 years profits running as high as $500 to $800 or even $1,000 per acre. We do not believe that 

 conditions are going to be so thoroughly different in the next few years that there will be no 

 more profits. 



We cannot guarantee large profits, nor even any profits. Beware of the man who has a "sure 

 thing"; but we can say that from our own experiences and from reports that have come to us 

 from many of our customers, most growers who have had fields from one-half an acre up to 

 one or two acres have made some profit even in these years of depression. Plants set now will 

 come into bearing in May or June next year, so let's set a moderate planting of fine strawberries 

 and be prepared to meet good times half way and to take advantage of better prices when they 

 come, as they surely must. No matter how high prices go, you, as a grower, cannot profit 

 thereby unless you produce something to sell.
