"Cranberry crop headed for best year since '99" by Elizabeth Campbell, Globe Correspondent | August 21, 2008
The state's tart crimson berry is holding its ground.
I never eat 'em. I'm from Mass, born and raised here, and I hate 'em!
Despite a sweltering start to summer with extended heat, Massachusetts cranberry production is projected to rise as much as 25 percent this year and yield up to 1.9 million barrels, the best year in the Commonwealth since 1999. The crop has been bolstered by rainfall in late July and early August, according to a survey of more than 300 Bay State growers by the US Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
I'm so sick of the lying and obfuscations.

The industry isn't out of the woods yet.
What? After hyping this "success" on page one of the business section?
Right now, the berries are still on the vine and growers still need good August weather so the cranberries will continue to grow. Harvesting time varies, but usually takes place in mid-September, and some growers harvest until the end of the first week of November, said Gates-Allen, with the growers' group.
"If we get a lot of cold nights, it encourages the berries to get red, and the berries stop growing," Gates-Allen said. "We want our berries to still be growing." ----"
Why would we get COLD NIGHTS when we have GLOBAL WARMING and a SWELTERING SUMMER?
Sigh! So sick of the FUCKING LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
