These appear to be low bush which would be common in NE. The high bush varieties produce larger berries but I do not believe they would be found in the Lakes Region.
My brother has wild blueberries on his Maine property and the only thing that is done to them is a controlled burn every other year which helps the plants by killing off other plant growth that would push the blueberry plants out and keeps production output up. He makes pretty good money from about 4 acres of them too. His are flash frozen the day they are picked by G. M. Allen & Son Blueberries.
