5th generation cranberry farm continues to succeed|World News 5th generation cranberry farm continues to succeed Six Pine Island Cranberry Co. workers, dressed head to toe in protective gear and waders, pushed 300-400 pound reel harvesters, or "knocking machines" through thigh-high water in a bog, while a lead man checked for deep holes Tuesday. They were wet-harvesting just one cranberry bog on the 14,000-acre farm. The farm has a 10-to-1 ratio of protective land to producing bogs. "We need to protect the water supply and water source," PICC Social Media Coordinator Stefanie Haines, a fifth-generation grower, told the Press of Atlantic City.
