[TONY PIAZZA]

There are probably a number of us who haven’t harvested yet who would be interested in hearing the thoughts of the experienced experts in our group about maneuvering around this rain. Thanks for putting the question out there.

The remaining 20% is up to 22 Brix. I sprayed Rally last Monday anticipating the rain. The question is, should I pick now or run the risk of infection while waiting until I get close to 23 Brix?
