All the rain this year has made it harder for the farmers to seal off the ground and nutrients before planting, Campbell said. But rain, of course, is also a blessing. The strawberry plants need plenty of water as they take root, Campbell said. "It's a good thing, but it's really making the soil preparation a little more challenging," he said. McDonald said he was able to treat and seal his fields -- about 135 acres -- without any problems. He'll start planting this week.
