berries usually are on vines or bushes. there are flowering trees that produce fruit but usally that is larger fruit some of which can kill you if it falls on your head.
This just simply isn’t true. If we are harvesting a handful to me will have around 15 berries in it. Not enough to kill me. Lol it’s great for the farmer collecting the check, just another day for the employees though.
Thanks! Yeah, that would work. I feel like it would be expensive just to do that though. lol Where are you located? its pretty cool to hear from people and where they are viewing from.
Wondrous! I think the entire cranberry thing is fascinating, amazing, and incredible! These farmers work HARD!! However did someone first figure out the life and harvest cycles of the cranberry??? God bless them, whoever they are! A cranberry bog is a very good bog. :-)
the first farmers of cranberry were european settlers who figured out that the berries were perinennal meaning they grow all year and are harvested once a year. one guy figured out that sand blown in made the berries grow a lot more hence why farms sand the vine fields.
Have used hip waders for work growing up and always pulled the boots up snug and snapped the side straps to belt or belt loop to keep boot shaft snug. Looks like many of the men here do not do that allowing the boot shafts to fall down and easier to fill boot up with water. Just curious.
You are correct, I work with Cody during harvest. If I remember correctly, the tarp, which is really a mesh, helps keep some of the vines from being pumped into the truck, which are hard to screen out, and less trash to ocean spray, equals a better pay per barrel
Yeah. Also it helps with the the leaves getting stuck in the vines. When the water sends the leaves to the bottom they will float a crossed the mesh and go into the trash truck.
