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.
Ever-bearing types produce two crops, one in early summer and the second in early fall. Day neutral plants are capable of producing flowers and thus fruit throughout most of the growing season. Of the three types, June-bearing strawberries normally produce the largest yield per season, albeit in a short period of time. Strawberry plants usually begin flowering in mid-May in Southern Minnesota and similar areas. For June-bearing cultivars the rule of thumb is about 4 weeks from flowering to picking fruit.
