Cranberry growers expect an average crop

Cranberry growers are expecting a better crop this year. 

Tom Lochner is with the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association. He says, “So far, it looks like it’s going to be an average-size crop for the state, about 520 million pounds of fruit, which is up from last year’s crop, and actually, the last three years so we’ve seen a pretty good recovery in the crop over the last twelve months.”

Lochner tells Brownfield the weather has been rough on the cranberry bogs for a couple of years.
