Went to the Cranberry Bog in Carlisle Ma today. Watched as they wet harvested the bogs; Wet harvesting is when water reels are driven through the beds. These reels churn up the water and knock the berries off of the vines. The berries float on top of the water. A boom, or a floating tube, round up the berries. You can see a boom in the picture to the right. When they are rounded up, the cranberries are put on a conveyor belt that takes them to barrels.
