| Description: | CRANBERRY EVES Harvesting cranberries in North America. MLS women working in cranberry field; moving toward camera on their knees while scooping up cranberries with a special box. This scoop looks like a small desktop on which the bottom of the open end sticks out farther and is toothed. MCU side view woman pushes the box forward on the ground, the long teeth catching the long grass-like leaves. As she pulls that end up the berries are stripped off, falling inside the box. Wide shot more workers (mostly men) in field. Wide shot looking toward flooded field. (Since cranberries float; field is flooded after the scooping is finished in order to collect the remaining berries.) LS man in waders uses another sort of scooper w/ long handle to pick up the floating berries. Agriculture; fruit; food; labor; tools | |
