They Make $150,000 Picking Cranberries

Details

Description

These cranberry farmers earn up to $150,000 a year, but the job isn’t as simple as it sounds. Instead of picking by hand, they flood the fields so the hollow cranberries float to the surface. But when the water rises, so do thousands of wolf spiders. The spiders often climb onto the farmers to escape and their bites can sting, yet they’re left alone because they protect the crops by eating real pests.
