I have to speak up. No where in this article do they even mention the endangered cranberry bog dolphin, one of the few remaining species of fresh water dolphins.

Agreed! Save our native cranberry bog dolphins!
Okay, as someone who doesn't follow cranberry production, is this a standard yield, or is it more or less than typical? The article just compares us to other states without indicating what this means compared to past performance. And to me, comparing to past performance is more important. Especially since we outclass the other states so much—over twice as much as the next largest producer. The comparison to other states isn’t particularly meaningful.
According to this 2021 article , average annual yield for Wisconsin cranberries is 5.5 million barrels, with barrels that weigh 100 lbs.
So it's a low yield this year. Not quite as bad as 2021. But still a dip.
Good to know. Thanks.
