Hello, everyone:

Yes, we have much needed rain today! It is not a deterrent to the 
meeting, and we will look forward to seeing you this afternoon, 2:00 at 
Kings Mountain Vineyards for 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 (so come 
prepared for wet weather). 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,
