Olgentdc and Billy S, The cranberries grow on dry ground, if they are sitting in any water during the growing season the get weak and die like most all crops. We have laser levelled our fields and 4"drain tile is space every 15-25 feet across the field draining to perimeter ditches. We only drain down 18"-24"
The cranberries like acidic soil - pH 3.5-5.5. We grow in straight peat, or in my case I mulched the peat with 6" of sawdust for the growing medium. In wisc and mass they grow in straight sand.
When we harvest the water is pumped into the fields, moving from field to field as we go. It anywhere from 18-24" deep. Deeper allows for the fruit to pul easier. The better the field level the easier it is to harvest.

Next week I'll get more picture of the receiving station and cleaning lines. Grant
