During high school I spent a few summers picking strawberries for the Yang family in Turlock. Nice article from Modesto Bee.

"Yong Va Yang put four children through college thanks to hard work at his Turlock strawberry patch... Today, they are part of a notable trend: 85 percent of the state’s strawberry farmers are of Asian or Mexican descent, according to a report this week from an industry group. That’s not the case with any of the other major sectors in California agriculture, where the vast majority of farmers have European roots."

A new report cites the success of Asian and Latino farmers in the California strawberry industry.
