Cranberry growers are expecting a good crop this year. Jenna Dempze with the Gaynor Cranberry Company near Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin tells Brownfield harvest is about half done and yields look good so far. “We’re sitting above average for the state. I think Wisconsin overall is going to have a slightly larger crop than it did last year. Last year, they produced about 4.8 million barrels and I think they’re projected to come in slightly above that for this year’s crop.”
Dempze says the berries did well this year, but the late-season warm weather did have one drawback.
