My son-on-law is considering blueberry farming in the Willamette Valley,
Or.  He is from a farm family in E Washington, but is no expert about
blueberry farming. 

Is this a crop that has special problems in terms of fungicides, labor,
weather, marketing, cost of productive blueberry acreage, difficulties
of growing mature bushes from scratch, pollination, etc.?

He would appreciate any and all comments.
