Frozen
Grapes Meeting - Erie County
Thursday, June 19, 2008, 4:30pm
North Collins Senior Center
Extension and National Grape will be holding a brief meeting to discuss
questions growers have regarding damage from the frost in late April.
Although we are meeting where the grapes were hit especially hard, folks
from the region who also have significant damage are welcome to join us.
The discussion will center on viticultural practices and grower questions.
We also hope to have Annette Hyman from the Erie County FSA will be there
to answer questions.
