A Viticulture Field Day will be held 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 31 at the Michigan State University Southwest Michigan Research & Center, 1791 Hillandale Road, Benton Harbor, MI 49022. The session is co-sponsored by the Michigan Grape Society and Michigan State University Extension.

Now in its 24th year, the Viticulture Field Day provides many opportunities for established and new grape growers to learn about current practices and research in wine and juice grapes through field-based workshops, equipment demonstrations and the trade show.

Among the workshops for 2013 are the benefit of leaf removal, managing excessive vine size, trellis construction, promising wine grape varieties and pest management. Michigan Grape Society industry leaders, growers, Michigan State University faculty and staff combine to present the educational sessions.

Complete program information and registration are available online.
