Hello ~

I am writing to request sources of infomration on organic grape
production. Some direct questions that have been asked are:

~What is a good cover crop to use between rows of vines?
~Soil requirements- especially trace minerals
~Pest/ Disease Control
~Winter Hardy varieties

If you are aware of any organic vineyards- especially those that would
have climatic conditions similar to Northeast , Missouri- I would
appreciate any contacts. There are some folks here who are interested
in establishing a small vineyard, who would like to visit with organic
producers one on one.

Thank you all for any information/ leads!
