Some free advice… While packers usually have a head grower who instructs their contract growers what actions to take next (irrigate, cultivate, fertilize, etc)… never put off (delay) these instructions or alter them in the slightest. Even though some recommended practices may seem unnecessary, never short a vegetable crop... they're unforgiving. Instead look at that seemingly unnecessary additional expense as insurance. Some extra free advice... be careful who you do business with in vegetables, the industry having had more than its share of con-men over the years. Since packers conduct the sales, they'd also control the grower's share of the proceeds and have been known to disappear overnight. Stick with the tried and true. A comforting thought... in the United States where the USDA controls 80% of the farmland in effect, 20% holds some promise for profit. Fruits and vegetables, which makes up most of this 20%, can be very profitable... but with it comes risks. Knowing these risks, and how to reduce them, is the secret to success. These crops do, however, require constant attention and mistakes (or delayed actions) can be disastrous. (the comforting part isn't the disasters but knowing farming can be profitable)
