Default strawberries seedy and small

Planted sure crop June berries for years. Rotate every 3-4 yrs with new runners. In Indiana, zone 5 our growing season started way early. We had blooms last of April and were picking mid May. We had record rain of 10"in May. Our berries are small, very seedy and if you don't hold the plant when you pick it will come up with the berry. I've seen other patches small and seedy but not sick looking plants raising out of the dirt. The plants look as if the went through a hard winter with many freezes and thaws with no straw cover. We had a record mild winter. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
thanks, rockman
