I live in Oxnard, CA where they grow a lot of strawberries and it takes an army of people to plant and and harvest the crops. They get two crops a year here. I grew up in Salinas CA where back then, it was the only place on the west coast where strawberries were grown. Picking strawberries was always a summer job for many of the high school kids.
it*s no wonder that frost risk in Ohio likewise entire northern U.S. states is enormous.Just look at visual weather map in spring. It's mindblowing how in day hours you can have warm air from Gulf of Mexico,and then, at night, freezing air masses from Canada spread so far to the south ! Thanks to Gulfstream Europe is much less exposed to such temperature fluctuations.Yep,crap also happens,but it's nothing compared to U.S. Also I suspect that kids omit a lot of smaller berries in order to pick more baskets.As you have said,it's enormous expenses with ever slimmer profit margin.
I don't generally care for Strawberries myself. I think the way they take over an entire area. Incredibly fast not only on the surface but underneath. They knot up like morning glories. I would much rather grow a bush-type berry in that way. Pumpkins are mainly the same way above the surface. However, they have more uses than just food for me. For Halloween, I use it for decorations for a pumpkin patch now. I only garden myself, and I also make it to start pumpkins in end of May along with my Mums. Fried Pumpkins are amazing. Easier to manage than strawberries. Pumpkins are HUGE FEEDERS. I could go on with the pumpkins versus strawberries.
Great video, I very much enjoy when you do deep dives into the Why. I enjoy and appreciate what goes into your decision making.
man,you reminded me how outrageously beautiful tunnel tomatoes were in May or June.Pure perfection !

Industrial kitchen video incoming ?
Strawberries are the most profitable crop you can grow per acre. Has to be done right though and hand picked and in the store in a matter of days.
Natalie is 19 ? Man,she is such a baby face girl, I thought she was 15 at max )))
Why don't you grow a few 100 strawberry plants for yourself?
Why do u not use h2a?
