Wisconsin’s annual cranberry harvest starts with a flood as berries float on the surface of a bog, pumped full of water, before they’re raked out in a seasonal ritual that’s just been completed. This year, though, there’s been a flood of another kind in a surplus of cranberries that will result in about 25 percent of the crop being discarded, even spread on fields as fertilizer, to protect growers’ prices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture authorized the industry to withhold a large portion of berries from the market so the supply will get back in balance with the demand.
