35 Handy Dandy Online Pesticide Management Guides Setting up a vineyard pest management program takes some time and study. It takes several years of experience to become proficient in this art. Pest identification, sprayer calibration, sprayer selection, Worker Protection Standard (WPS) requirements, pre-harvest intervals (PHI), re-entry intervals (REI), mode of action rotation, spray intervals, adjuvant use, water pH, mixing order, timing and cost all need to be considered for a good pest management spray program. Here is a list of some good resources that should come in handy: 1. 2015 Midwest Small Fruit & Grape Spray Guide PM 1375, 89 pp.: https://store.extension.iastate.edu/ItemDetail.aspx?ProductID=4796 2.

Dram shop or dramshop: is a legal term in the United States referring an

establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold. Traditionally, it referred to a shop where spirits were sold by the dram, a small unit of liquid.

Dram shop liability refers to the body of law governing commercial alcohol beverage establishments. Generally, dram shop laws establish the liability of establishments arising out of the sale of alcohol to visibly intoxicated persons or minors who subsequently cause death or injury to third parties (those not having a relationship to the bar) as a result of alcohol-related car crashes and other accidents.

The laws are intended to protect the general public from the hazards of serving alcohol to minors and intoxicated patrons. Groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) have advocated for the enforcement and enactment of dram shop laws across the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The earliest dram shop laws date from the 19th century temperance movement.

Show n Tell On Tuesday, 4-7-15 Dr. Diana Cochran (ISU Horticulture) and I drove over to Tassel Ridge Winery to see their new V-Mech mechanical pruner work in their vineyard. It was a cold and misty day, but we were able to see it long prune Edelweiss mature grape vines and take pictures and videos of it in action. The V-Mech mechanical pruner is a pull-behind two seated trailer with two working arms that are operated by a joystick connected to each pruning head. The hydraulic pump is powered by the PTO on the tractor pulling the V-Mech through the vineyard. The V-Mech pruner is manufactured and sold by Midwest Grower Supply located in Stanberry, Mo.

A 5:45 minute video of this V-Mech pruner in action can be found here:
