They flood cranberry fields in the fall to make the harvest go smoother.

They really should have put a jump in... Slashes were legit but they could have made a better edit

No. It is a common misconception that cranberries are grown in water. Water is used during harvest to float the fruit for easier collection, and during the winter months to protect the plants from freezing and desiccation. The rest of the year the fruit is grown on dry beds.

they should have thrown in a rail, but that was still really cool looking.

Because water is 2 feet deep. and I've installed water pipes for cranberry field and I can tell you that cranberries DON'T grow in water. They flood the fields only when the cranberries are ready for harvest.

We got the go ahead to do this and had less than a day to prepare. They were harvesting the berries the very next day, so no time to put in any rails. We had the morning to shoot some turns and then had to head out.

No berries were ruined, the farmer was 100% ok with this and gave us permission.
