Welcome to Wisconsin! Forget the cattle—it’s the Wild (Mid) West, where we wrangle CRANBERRIES!

Ever wonder how Wisconsin cranberry growers round up millions of floating cranberries during harvest?

Thanks to their natural buoyancy, cranberries float when growers flood the beds and knock the berries loose from the vines. But getting them off the vines is only half the job!

That’s where the cranberry wrangling begins.

Using tractors, booms and blowers, growers work together to corral the floating cranberries into one area, making them easier to collect.

It’s all part of the unique process of wet harvesting cranberries in Wisconsin, the nation’s leading cranberry-producing state!

Bringing ’em out! 🔴

Fun fact: These berries may be coming out of flooded cranberry beds, but cranberries don’t actually grow in water!

Cranberries have air pockets that help them float. Flooding is part of the harvest process because it’s efficient, but not how cranberries grow.
