VASCM: Next VASCM Meeting Jan. 23, 2pm on Zoom: Fritz Westover on Preparing for the New Vintage, Heavy Rain Impacts, Heat Waves

[Richard Casale]

Hi Mary

NRCS hired me back in a contracting role to assist with storm damage recovery including making webinar presentations and speaking at workshops. Let me know if VASCM has a need for a presentation on Vineyard Storm Damage Repair and Vineyard Erosion Control/Prevention. I will also be doing on site visits to vineyard properties in need free of charge. 

Hope you are doing well. Happy New Year.

But we'd like to start this new year with renewed intent for a year of some great viticulture programs - starting with this one with Fritz Westover, Virtual Viticulture Academy (VVA). We've done a couple of online programs with Fritz as well as an in person workshop over the past few years.  This program will focus on preparing for the upcoming vintage, including a pruning refresher. And, we were going to talk about the impact of drought, but that's no longer an issue for us at the moment, so Fritz will address the impact of heavy rains such as we are having now. And he will also talk about adapting your practices anticipating heat waves, such as we experienced last year, and in prior years, at harvest time. This program will be packed with valuable practical advice that you can apply in your vineyards. There is no charge for this program (it is being covered by the VASCM).

However, the Zoom link will be sent to everyone in advance of the program anyway so that you have it handy (in case you haven't pre-registered). Either way, be sure to take advantage of this webinar.
