High temperatures and a widespread drought means the US cranberry crop is suffering. That could lead to a national cranberry shortage this holiday season. Brian Wick, executive director of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association: "Farmers wake up every day and they have to face whatever the weather is going to present to them. That's farming. But it's quite clear in talking to many growers over the past several years that this change in climate is very real and it's really starting to impact how they farm."
Luckily, for this year's cranberry sauce prospects, the growing season isn't quite over yet. Growers have another month before the berries are ready to harvest. That means there is still time.
