How Jockeys Earn Money. The average jockey may earn between $30 and $100 per race, depending on the track. A jockey may ride in several races in an afternoon. If he wins, he may receive around 10 percent of the ownerâs winnings, which is usually 60 percent of the purse, although the percentage may vary by locale.
The variety of the strawberry plant determines its lifespan, although a properly cared for plant can produce for up to three or four years. June-bearing varieties require annual rejuvenation to remain productive for more than one season.
Color provides a good indicator of strawberry ripeness. Strawberries produce best in cool weather when temperatures remain below 75 degrees Fahrenheit, making them especially suitable for cooler coastal regions. Day-neutral types produce berries year-round in mild climates with little frost, even during the summer if temperatures remain cool.
