This service is most useful from transplant to harvest, but has year-round benefits.
For the past few years, AWIS meteorologists have worked with consulting expert and Strawberry Doc Barclay Poling and his team at Flavor First to develop forecast services that strawberry growers throughout the country should use to their benefit. That relationship continues today and will provide unparalleled expertise in strawberry growing weather forecast services far into the future.
