I’m sure you share my excitement as the temperatures this week have been gradually rising above freezing... and according to my countdown — and the road sign by Hennigar's — we’re just three weeks away from Spring!
This week's Blog will be a short one- as most of you are aware, we have the GGANS AGM this Sunday, so I am sure I will see most of you there.
This AGM promises to be a great one. In addition to the ALAB and Phytoculture Lab tours, GGANS has organized a panel discussion:
"The Role of Grapevine Physiology and Technology in Maximizing Vineyard Productivity"
The panel discussion consists of four speakers:
- Dr. Simone Castellarin- Grapevine Physiology Professor and Assistant Director of the Wine Research Centre in Vancouver, BC.
- Becca Griffin- Viticulturalist (Mercator, Gaspereau Vineyards)
- Charlie Turcotte- Valley Precision Ag,
- Dr. Jim Willwerth- Professor of Biological Sciences at Brock University.
It promises to be an informative session, so, bring your notepads, questions, and let's have a lively discussion.
