WASHINGTON - Aug 12/19 - SNS -- United States 2019 total cranberry production is forecast at 9.04 million barrels, up 1% from 2018, according to the USDA's latest crop production report.

In Wisconsin a cold, wet spring put the crop 1 to 2 weeks behind normal, but warmer temperatures in July helped the crop catch up. Some Massachusetts growers reported excessive moisture.
