The farmers are destroying their strawberries in Florida because the bumper crop has depressed the price. They say the bumper crop is do to all the watering they did to protect the plants from frost. All the extra watering has used up so much water in the area that the neighboring people are having their wells dry up do to the water table drop. Now , with the resulting big crop , the farmers are destroying the fruit instead of selling it or giving it away.

Something jsut not right about thiscwhen every city in the US has soup kitchens for hungry poor people. Yeah I know they are business men but hell , the least they could do is let people come in and pick them rather than destroying them. They claim liability issues if they let peole pick them. Strange world it has become.
