Hello, everyone:

This next meeting will be in person - yes, live and in person! - 
tomorrow, Friday at 3P Vineyard in Soquel (see address below).

We have had some fierce storms, a lot of rain and high winds, in the 
past couple of months. And it's still raining with more coming in this 
weekend. We are fortunate to have a break in the weather for our meeting 
tomorrow.  Rich Casale and Drew Mather of the local NRCS office (Santa 
Cruz County) will address:
- storm preparedness;
- what to do (and not to do) in an emergency if you experience storm damage
- storm damage recovery practices and/or strategies;
- and NRCS/Farm Service financial and technical assistance programs 
throughout the year for conservation and other management practices.

You may have had trees uprooted on your property that have compromised 
soil retention, drainage or erosion issues, etc. And if not yet then it 
will still be good to know what to do to avoid and address in the 
future. Plus, you'll find out about some valuable funding assistance 
through the NRCS for a wide range of conservation practices, of which 
some of our growers have benefited from over the years.

If you have particular damage issues that you are interested to have 
addressed during the program you can email Rich ahead of time at 
richcasale3 at gmail.com .


*Location: 3P Vineyard, 3490 Soquel-San Jose Rd*. in Soquel (across from 
Casalegno's store). Thank you to Dan Petrocchi for hosting.

*What to bring:
*
*- Please bring your own chair.* We will be in a barn for the 
presentation (and out of the weather if it rains). *
*
*- Also bring a bottle of wine to share!* We will be providing 
appetizers to go with.

We look forward to seeing you!


Regards,
