Cranberries Harvest From Bogs Across New Jersey
In the Pinelands of New Jersey cranberries surge toward Thanksgiving tables as workers wade, reel, and hoist berries from bogs. The Haines family owns the state’s largest cranberry farm, 11,000 acres, with 1,100 devoted to cranberries. Bogs risk frost, bees pollinate, and Ocean Spray processes most of the crop into sauces and juices. Cranberries now appear in juices, ice cream, and craisins, with annual production around 5.5 million barrels.

Washington reports a definitive study showing US sperm counts decline about 1.5 percent yearly since the 1930s, Europe more steeply, with weaker signals in Asia and other regions. Researchers link lower counts to higher risks of certain male reproductive cancers and birth defects, though fertility in the US is not yet clearly affected. Dr Shanna Swan of the California Department of Health leads the report in Environmental Health Perspectives.
