Small Gain in U.S. Strawberry CropWASHINGTON - Jul 8/05 - SNS -- Strawberry production in the U.S. is forecast at 21.7 million cwt, 1% above comparable States in 2004, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates. Area harvested, at 43,700 acres, is up 2% from last year's comparable States. Strawberry yield is forecast at 497 cwt, down 8 cwt from 2004 for comparable States.
