Cranberries in Wisconsin
in the Fall when the berries ripen, the fields are flooded
a "beater" machine goes through the field to loosen the berries from their vines
the berries float, and are often pushed by the
wind to the end of the bog
(note the "beater" in the bog at the background)
they are helped in the corner by pulling a boom
where a loader picks the berries from the bog surface
into a truck
from the field they go to the processing plant
where they are dumped from the truck
washed and sorted into a bin
and prepared for your table
