This is a very good guide, up to date, and though not in the mid-west, Virginia has many of the same problems, maybe worse. Recommended.
Organic Grape Production Guide: The New York State IPM Program recently published a new guide for
those interested in growing grapes organically. While centered on New York State conditions and issues, the Guide is relevant to others in the East who wish to adopt organic
practices in their vineyards. The ‘2015 Production Guide for Organic Grapes' was edited by Tim Weigle and Julie Carroll of the IPM Program, with contributions from many researchers
and extension staff from New York and Pennsylvania. Production of the guide was funded in part by the New York Department of Ag & Markets. http://ulster.cce.cornell.edu/resources/organic-grape-production-guide
(http://grapepathology.blogspot.com/). For information on upcoming meetings and within a season disease management discussions, please take a look at my blog. You are very
welcomed to post comments too. Last year I was able to update it 3-4 times a week, and I will do my best to keep the same pace.
