Strawberries
In Monopoly, the goal is to drive everyone else into bankruptcy, and the way to do it is to place expensive properties in the finest of places. The cash cow of the game: putting a hotel on the Boardwalk – the most expensive location with the highest payouts for the unlucky players who land there. Well, if Monterey County was a Monopoly game, planting strawberries on Boardwalk or Park Place would put you in the money. Or look at it this way: Last year saw a record-breaking gross production value of approximately $1.039 billion from strawberries in Monterey County.
