Nation^s crop a record Massachusetts, Wisconsin dead even in berry crops The latest crop figures for 1982 released by the USDA's Crop Reporting Service show Massachusetts and Wisconsin in what Irving E. Demoranville, Qjrector, Massachusetts Cran- Bierry Experiment Station, describes as "a flat-footed ; Each state was credited with a crop of 1,300,000 barrels. 1982, recalled Demoranville, represented the third year in which Massachusetts did not have a larger crop, according to USDA figures. Wisconsin had larger crops than did Massachusetts in 1975 and 1976, the director said. In terms of the nation as a whole, cranberrying had its first 3 million barrel crop. The total was 3,050,000 barrels, which was about 15 percent above the 1981 crop. Massachusetts also hit a record, with an 11 percent increase over '81 and 10 percent above its prior record in '80. Wisconsin exceeded its '81 crop by 35 percent and its 1980 record crop by 20 percent. New Jersey, with 295,000 barrels, also produced a record crop—up nearly 30 percent from last year. The Far West did not fare as well. Both Washington and Oregon were down about 30 percent from last year. Washington, with 90,000 barrels, had its smallest crop since 1966. Oregon, with 65,000 barrels, had its smallest crop since 1965. Wisconsin, with only about 63 percent as much land under cultivation as Massachusetts has, had a higher level of production— barrels per acre compared to Demoranville, which equalized the final output. Demoranville said Massachusetts has 11,200 acres under cultivation compared to 7,100 for Wisconsin. He noted that the crop figures released by the Cranberry Marketing Committee show Massachusetts slightly in the lead.
