203: Get the Latest Viticulture Research from 30 Experts
If you like the Sustainable Winegrowing with The Vineyard Team podcast, then you will not want to miss the premiere sustainable winegrowing event of the year – the Sustainable Ag Expo. Cliff Ohmart, PhD, Principal at Ohmart Consulting Services and former Lodi Winegrape Commission staff, helped the Vineyard Team bring together the nation’s top researchers to present at the Expo for a number of years. In this podcast episode linked above, you can preview the topics and speakers for this year’s event.
Enjoy the perfect blend of in-person and online learning. Speak directly with national experts, earn over 20 hours of continuing education (including 18 hours of DPR), and explore sustainable ag vendors November 14-15, 2023, at the Madonna Inn Expo Center in San Luis Obispo California.
By popular request, this year we have doubled the number of online courses so attendees can learn on-demand between October 16 and November 30.
