The excessive rain has made strawberry season shorter this year.
Owner of Suter's Produce, Jerry Suter says the rain really put a lot of stress on the berries when the plants were trying to bloom, making it one of the smallest crops they've ever seen at the farm.Â
Suter says due to the short supply of strawberries they are unable to offer "U-Pick Strawberries" this year. Strawberry season usually runs from early June to the end of June.Â
"It's an earlier season than normal and now it's going to end pretty quick and IÂ wish there was a better crop of berries but it just isn't," says Suter.
But, on the bright side, Suter says they already planted sweet corn, and on different dates so that the crops are ready for each day of the summer.Â
"So the sweet corn is looking real good this year we like the way it came up out of the ground and the way it's growing now. Now there's sunshine and occasional showers so we're eagerly looking forward to a great sweet corn crop," says Suter.
The red barn are open and ready to server customers. Suter says sweet corn should be ready by early July.Â
