I didn't have my camera with me last week when it was nice out and I was out and about checking on some of my friends at their bogs. I did today and this was the best I could get in the rain. This is wet harvesting Early Black variety cranberries. They flood the bog, the machine lightly beats the berries off the vines, and then they are racked and pumped off. The berries float because they are hollow in the middle. My friend is hoping to get 150 barrel to the acre of this piece (100 lbs./barrel) which is a normal size crop for the variety in our area.
