Cranberries have long comprised the state’s biggest perishable cash crop averaging $76.8 million per year, dairy products are next with $40 million, turkeys $23.5 million, apples $22.5 million, and livestock $13.9 million.

In addition, our teams know how to shore-up improperly loaded freight so that it can be removed without further asset losses.
