Organic strawberry-growing cost study available

The University of California has released a new cost study to help growers estimate costs and potential returns for Central Coast organic strawberries. The cost study models a management scenario for a 30-acre farm, 27 acres of which are planted with organic strawberries.

The study describes the cultural practices used in organic strawberry production and harvest, including land preparation, soil fertility and pest management, irrigation, and labor needs. The 20-page study shows costs for each operation, material inputs and costs, and cash and non-cash overhead costs in a variety of formats for one production and harvest cycle. A ranging analysis is also included and shows potential profits or losses over a range of prices and yields.
