Harvesting Cranberries in Eastern Massachusetts
Additional Details:
| When the tart berries are red-ripe, the bogs are flooded and machines whip the water and the vines. The berries float to the surface and are then skimmed or suctioned off into waiting trucks. Some itinerant harvesters travel the length of Cape Cod and Eastern Massachusetts much like the combines do in the wheat fields of the mid-west. |
