Interesting take on resolving labor shortages in this morning's Wall Street Journal in an article written by Miho Inada. Very much like our strawberry industry, Japan has been experiencing a real worker shortage but for the time being at least applying a novel solution to it.
A few weekends ago I saw a short article in the WSJ magazine that sometimes comes with the newspaper on Saturdays. The article asked five luminaries to weigh in on a single topic.
Our updated for 2022 Organic Strawberry Cost of Production Study is now available, finished it a couple of weeks ago. Nice work once again with Jeremy Murdock and the team at the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Davis.
I walk to and from work every day, and while the walk is short, there is frequently a lot to see and think about. A big apartment construction going on, the people living and not in the cemetery and the comings and goings around the markets on either side of Freedom Blvd.
Just letting you all know that we are having our field day for an update on our biodegradable mulch work in strawberry this coming September 9 at the Naturipe Berry Farms, 154 CA-156. Starts at 9 am and goes until 11.
