EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating process of cranberry harvesting at the Belarusian Zhuraviny plantation. In this flooded field, a group of hardworking farmers can be seen diligently gathering cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) from the plants. The vibrant red berries float effortlessly on the water's surface, making them easily collectible. Cranberries are typically grown in sandy fields, but for harvesting purposes, these fields are intentionally flooded to aid in berry removal. This efficient mechanical method ensures a bountiful harvest while maintaining the health and quality of the crop. The image beautifully captures both the serene beauty of nature and the dedication of those involved in agriculture. Each worker plays an essential role in carefully gathering these nutritious fruits that will eventually find their way onto our tables. As we admire this photograph, we gain insight into the intricate world of farming and appreciate how food production relies on skilled individuals working harmoniously with nature. It serves as a reminder that behind every delicious meal lies countless hours of labor by dedicated farmers who ensure our plates are filled with nourishing produce.
