The berries have achieved just the right shade of red and Wisconsin’s cranberry harvest will begin next week.
This year is expected to be a good year for the crop. Du Bay Cranberry manager Dave Hansen tells WSAW Television he monitors the marsh temperatures all yet to make sure the cranberries are cared for properly. Probes powered by solar panels check the temperature, sending an automatic warning to him when it gets too cold.
Ocean Spray has taken a sample of the berries, using a machine to calculate the color and determine when the product is ready to be harvested.
