Around The Vineyard

Pacific Northwest. While not in-volved directly
in growing grapevines, Steve Groff, founder of
Holtwood, Pennsylvania’s Cover Crop Coaching
and author of The Future Proof Farm: Changing
Mindsets In A Changing World, can offer assistance
to those looking to explore organic ways to mimic
nature when growing cover crops.

Also, Amy Bartow with the USDA NRCS Corvallis
Plant Materials Center presented an overview of
the costshare programs available for cover crop-
ping in vineyards along with examples of their
projects to date. She recommended that interested
parties get in touch with their local Soil and Water
Conservation District to get information about spe-
cific programs available in their particular area.
