UNDATED – Cranberry harvests in Wisconsin and elsewhere are meeting expectations, meaning your cranberry sauce will cost about the same this thanksgiving as it did last year.
Wisconsin is the nation's leading cranberry producer. It grows nearly 60% of America's crop. Final harvest numbers aren't available, but an industry spokesperson says the state should meet its summer forecast of 400-million pounds.
Massachusetts is second in the U.S. with about 25% of the harvest. New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington appear to be covering the slack. These states round out the nation's top 5 cranberry producers.
