Dan Brockman's invention may revolutionize the way cranberries are harvested.

Dan Brockman has created a cranberry harvest machine called the Ruby Slipper. He partnered with a Wisconsin Rapids-based business to manufacture the machine. They say it can harvest cranberries about five times faster than the traditionally used beater harvester. They also say the Ruby Slipper is easier on the cranberry plants & more economical because it attaches to a conventional farm tractor
