Praying in the Harvest

What a bloody great run around setting this thing up. Oh well.
Harvest is in fact in for this year. Two hundred and ninety thousand pounds of lovely cranberries destined for the juice market. With luck the price won't fall before they are sold. Isn't that the litany of every farmer?
Harvest usually runs ten days, but the adjoining farm has new owners this year so we helped them bring in their crop before getting ours off. Twenty days of ten to twelve hours a day, most of that in mid-thigh deep water. It seems a long haul this year.
Well, this blog isn't primarily about farming so this post may seem a bit gratuitous. So be it....
