Description

Photograph of strawberries. Strawberries growing on an extreme slope. This field will run from 20% to 30% slope but will grow excellent berries. This land was recently cleared of brush and planted to strawberries. Irrigation is used this field. After 3 to 6 years of strawberries, this land will be planted with Bermuda grass. Erosion and leaching will deplete the soil in a few years and the grass conversion is necessary to conserve and improve it. Berries can be grown again in about 20 years. OK-293-4.
