Book Description
This report provides estimates of strawberry & raspberry production & establishment costs as general guidelines to help growers. The information in the report was derived from previous economic reports, discussions with growers, and a collaboration of data from researchers, extension work, and agribusiness. Costs include variable costs such as labour, fertilizer, seed, and machine costs, plus fixed costs such as land and overhead. Estimates are given (for both crops) for the pre-plant year, planting in year 1, growth in year 2, pre-harvest & harvest costs per acre for wholesale & retail operations and for pick-your-own operations, and (for strawberry) renovation costs and matted row production.
