Hello, everyone:

We have another meeting for you now that we are all or almost done with 
harvest and can breathe a sign of relief, and before the end of the year 
and forthcoming holidays. The next VASCM meeting will feature a 
presentation by Nolan Bowers of Grape.ag talking about real-time 
climate, soil and irrigation monitoring in vineyards. The presentation 
will include a walk and talk in the vineyard at Kings Mountain to see 
the monitoring stations in use there. Grape.ag makes it more affordable 
to gather information in specific areas and microclimates as a more cost 
effective and useful alternative to expensive weather stations. The 
mobile app provides efficiencies and alerts regarding potential disease, 
water management, pesticide management, yield, and quality, resulting in 
lower monetary and environmental costs and better growing decisions. 
Grape.ag monitors are currently in use locally at Kings Mountain, Ridge 
Vineyards, Mount Eden, Thomas Fogarty Neely, and House Family Vineyards.

*Bring a bottle of wine to share!* We will be providing appetizers. *

Thank you to Kristi Bowers for hosting at Kings Mountain. See the Kings 
Mountain website here <https://www.kingsmountainvineyards.com/>.

We look forward to seeing you.

Regards,
The VASCM Board:
