As tomato growers figured out long before Wacky Wireless was invented, the way to sell tomatoes is by auction with the possible buyers bidding for the stock. Highest bidder takes how many they want. Sounds good in theory... But, reality is a bit harsher... Strawberry Fields Asunder: Farmers Destroy Crops Struggling Farmers Say Drop in Strawberry Prices Makes Destroying Crops More Economical Than Shipping to Market At strawberry farms across southwest Florida, there's an unusual sight. Workers aren't picking strawberries, they're destroying them. Why Florida farmers are destroying, rather than picking, their strawberry crop. "We've got more berries than we know what to do with," said Matt Parke, a strawberry farmer. Parke said that he was forced to tear through 60 acres, nearly half of his crop, to save his farm. He said that prices have dropped so much that it seems cheaper to let the fruit spoil than ship it to market. Strawberry farmers can usually sell a flat of strawberries, about 12 pounds, for $12 this time of year. Today, there's so much fruit for the picking, a flat sells for as little as $3. abcnews.go.com PCSTEL
