According to Tom Lochner, the executive director of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association, despite the frost, the harvest season is looking good for growers throughout the state. Lochner said: “It seems the crop here in Wisconsin has rebounded from a rather disappointing crop last year. We’re expecting an average crop, which will be about 520 million pounds of fruit for Wisconsin.”
He added that this is because the weather was much better to growers than last in 2021. “As one grower told me, it’s 85% of what happens out here is due to Mother Nature and what growers can do is manage the other 15%,” Lochner said. “If you’re willing to accept that a lot of things are out of your control, you can be successful in the business.”
