Cold climate grape bud break webinar part of free series

This event is part of a series that keeps cold-climate grape growers up to speed on what tasks to do at key points in the growing season.

This week’s focus topic is comparing bird control options, in response to high demand for this topic. However, there will be plenty of time to talk about critical bud break tasks as well. The speaker is Annie Klodd, Fruit Extension Educator at University of Minnesota (UMN) Extension.

Additional fruit specialists from UMN Extension and University of Wisconsin Madison, including Leslie Holland and Jed Colquhoun, will be in attendance to answer questions and lead discussion. This event is free, but registration is required in advance to obtain the link for the live webinar.
