coast of Maine | The majority come from Mexico ,they are kicking Florida growers badly.The pay rate in the mountains just south of the border is one(just1$) dollar per hour.There are over 50,000 acres there now.The imported at zero tariff sucks.The USA picker makes 22 $ an hour ish.Look very closely at the label,,it will tell you.Strawberry production in Florida may be gone in 10 years they say.Trucking is cheap for 40,000 lbs in a semi to the east coast is sub 20 cents a lb. | |
