Description: The Lodi District Chamber of Commerce’s Agribusiness Committee and the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) invite you to the 74th Annual Lodi Grape Day. With the challenges facing grape growers today, the information shared at Grape Day about improving yields, fighting diseases, market trends and mechanization technologies is more critical than ever. The morning session covers relevant viticulture topics focusing on integrated pest management and tools for growers. Then growers, pest control advisors, winery personnel, bankers, and business leaders gather for a special luncheon featuring a keynote speaker.
