Sentinel Vineyard Recap and Feedback

For growers in Virginia and surrounding states: As you may know, the viticulture and enology group at Virginia Tech initiated the Sentinel Vineyard Project, in which we gather information from a core member and use the information to deliver timely viticultural and ecological information at our extension meetings. The project’s first phase is nearly completed. We will work on the next phase of the project, and we need some feedback from you. If you could spend 10 minutes on the survey below, that would be wonderful.
