Ridge road ranch above Scotts
Mills.
"You just can't keep the deer
out of the strawberry fields,"
Ne'son says. "Not even with the
eight-foot fence which is being

in the fields. There were four
there the other evening, eating off
the plants and that was in spite
of the tall backstop we put up
to keep them out "

fences and ate off plants that
would have produced more than ,
$2000 worth of berries, the Nel
sons explained. This cancelled
plans for certification. The ruling
of the past year prohibiting grow
ers from harvesting both plants
and berries, kept the Nelsons out
