Wisconsin cranberry growers set record

July 25, 2014 By WRN Contributor

Wisconsin will retain its title as the top cranberry producer in America. In a U.S. Department of Agriculture report just released, Wisconsin set a record last fall by harvesting 6.02 million barrels of cranberries, which was 25% more than the year before. Wisconsin produced 67% of the nation’s supply, more than three times what second-place Massachusetts produced.

Wisconsin cherry and apple growers also rebounded from a rough 2012 with big 2013 yields. There were 12.3 million pounds of tart cherries produced, making the Badger state the fourth biggest producer. There was also an 18% gain in apple production with 41.7 million pounds, with the majority of them being sold as fresh market apples.
