Cranberry harvest

Here are some pictures of our cranberry harvest.
This is water harvest for processed fruit... ie juice / sweetend dried cranberries, sauce etc.

View toward the house in first picture, red fruit (Mullica Queen)

View in frount over my Beater second picture.

Dad coming up behind me on his machine.
These two pictures are Darker more purple fruit ( Demoranville)

And a token tractor picture, the Case 4490 giving the Big Mack a tug while I push with the hoe. My helper was skeptical that we wouldn't move it.... I've done worse and got out. We call the tractor Justin as in Just In Case (JI Case)

I'll see if I can get some of the elevator in the next day or so.
Too bad I can't post videos... a pair of Bald Eagles were wading in the water catching mice.

Thank you One farmer.
The iPhone is a wonderful tool... I just can't figure the orientation ... one of the pictures was the right way up, and I didn't do anything different. I'll try downloading onto computer and posting from there next time.

CBBC,

Great photos! Fun to see harvest of something other than the usual corn/beans around here.

Hmmmm, if your machine quits - looks like a mucky walk out.
 
Yup that why the waders. We only put 6" in yo best, mostvwould have more.
Today we will be in 2' of water.
 
And the industry is still pretty tough. We are OS growers so the Co-op has helped insulate is a bit, but our prices are going down and quality and colour is being paid slight bonuses over the base price for juice.
