[SCE] [SoCoGPU] Coastal grape growers can use less water during drought

[Ernie Carpenter]

Basically, it is dry farming but many take advantage of the availibiity of water to pump up the crop. I like seeing that some are more conscious then others. We should appeal to those when possible and remember that grape growing is not the enemy, it is the factory restaurant googhaw sales in farm land with events made up as promotion but are traffic jams and sales events. Just a thought.

The findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science, show that vineyards can use 50% of the irrigation water normally used by grape crops without compromising flavor, color and sugar content.
