. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. my ; Another business that really does put the "big chill" into its work is Cran- trol, an insect scouting service out of Warrens that has newly been estab- lished by Laurel Riedel. Ms. Riedel generously took time to explain how her college work and nat- ural interest in biology led her to create a professional service to rid cranberry growers of pests.
