Raking the cranberries

Raking the cranberries
About 90% of cranberries are wet harvested. The air pockets in cranberries cause them to float in water. Water reels, known as “egg-beaters,” agitate the water and dislodge the berries from the vines, causing them to float to the surface. Plastic “booms” corral the berries, which are then sucked into a truck to take them to a processing center.

Interesting series about cranberry harvesting. I've read about this process, but never seen photos of it.

It involves a lot of standing around in chilly water. Still, it is far easier than bending to pick the ground level berries.
