Ever wonder how we move over 8 MILLION gallons of water without letting it go to waste? π§π
Here's a look at one of the ways we flood our cranberry bogs while conserving both water and fuel!
We start by flooding our higher-elevation bogs, then let gravity do the work as the water flows downhill through a series of flumes. This helps us conserve fuel by reducing the amount of pumping needed.
Once we're finished harvesting, the water makes its way back to the pond, where it can be used again.
Conservation is a big part of cranberry farming. It's all about working with the land, making smart use of our resources, and making every gallon count!
