F o r about 18 y ears Joe Dyer h as

a t th e request of th e H erald he
agreed to tell some of his ideas in

ideas based on experiences he has h ad
in all s o r ts of conditions:
S tra w b e rrie s offer a satisfa c to ry
cash incom e to the farm er w ho w ill
produce them on a com m ercial scale
and ta k e care of the crop, Mr. Dyer
said.
“ By ra isin g b erries on a com m er
cial scale I mean th a t th e p atch
should co n ta in at least h alf an acre
th e firs t y ear and probably be e n
larg ed th e second y e a r,” Mr. D yer
ex plained. “ If a m an has a sm aller
p atch th a n th a t he w on’t produce
enough t o ju s tify going a fte r an

ship, he w on’t sta y in th e game.
T h ere Is little m a rk e t fo r sm all
q u a n titie s of berries.
“ On th e o th e r hand, the shipping
