I understand its a business but if you get nothing for them by destroying them then why not get nothing for them by letting people take them and save yourself the effort it takes to destroy them.

They claim it costs more to harvest them and bring them to market than they will get for them when sold. So why pay to have someone chop up the berries , why not give them away at no cost to them.

I'm sure its more complicated than that but its a shame to see the crop go to waste after they put everyone in a water bind trying to save them from frost by running sprinklers earlier in the season.

I have not seen the rpice of Smuckers Strawberry preserves go down yet. I bet we never see it at that level.
