REPORT OF TOWN DIRECTOR COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
At present, there are but two dairy farms in Carver, both in North Carver. They have been in operation for a number of years and especially the Embert Eames farm for a very long time.
We regret to report that the one fruit and vegetable farm which started production only a few years ago has been obliged to suspend operations due to poor market and de- clining prices.
Strawberries do well in Carver, but only a limited crop can be marketed profitably principally at road-side stands.
Weather conditions, with almost annual droughts, make it a great gamble to grow cultivated crops without available irrigation and very often like the past season, a sprinkling system for cranberry bogs is invaluable.
Cranberry growing is the principal farming industry in Carver, but plagued by poor marketing and small returns, the past few years, there is not so much interest in the business as formerly. Many good bogs have deteriorated from lack of funds to keep them in prime condition. Last summer's long drought caused severe damage on many bogs. With a nation- wide crop of over one million barrels last season and the per capita consumption of cranberries having fallen off sharply from what it was 25-30 years ago, the short term improvement in the business does not look too promising. But still, the fact remains that per acre for acre cranberries still give better return than any other crop.
In order that the citizens of Carver may understand what is meant by County Aid to Agriculture, a copy of the report by the County Agent, Robert B. Ewing is given in full below
Respectfully submitted,
EARL E. BOARDWAY,
Town Director, County Aid to Agriculture
