will harvest 3,600 acres less this
year than last, aocording to Gruz
Venstrom, California Farm Bureau field specialist in deciduous
fruits, nuts, and grapes. There
are. .13,200. acrés “of strawberries
to be harvested this year as
against 16,800 acres harvested in
1958: Due partly to this reduction
in acreage, Venstrom anticipates
no extreme price adjustments nor
bad supply situations this season.

farming, but it also creates jobs
