The cranberry is a little, red, tart fruit with a big punch, and Wisconsin produces more of this power-packed berry than any other state in the U.S. The timing of the harvest depends on the berry. Right now, harvesting berries as fresh fruit is the priority.
Things are on tack for this year's harvest. Cranberry growers are getting harvest equipment ready and waiting for the color to come out of the fruit and then harvest will get underway.
Tom Lochner, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Cranberry Growers Association shares more on the upcoming harvest and outlook for growers.
