Cranberries in water??

Question

On the commercials for oceanspray (i think) cranberry juice, it shows them harvesting cranberries from a body of water. When I looked it up, it said that cranberries dont grow in the water.... whats going on with that? Why are they in the water?

Answer 1

They flood the beds in the fall to make it easy to harvest them as good cranberries float.
