Straw and berries dont go together..,

I have worked picking up strawberries for three years and I can agree that the back suffers the most. Wages vary from farm to farm, that means it is better to get to know more information about the farm before you are going to. Also it depends in what pace you pick up strawberries. The faster you do that -more money in ur pocket. Start wage per month is 600, normally if to work the whole month it is possible to get from 1300-2000. I have not met anybody who could make more money.
