LIGHTSABERS & JEDI IN THE WINE INDUSTRY Special Event Discussion on Technology in the Hands of Viticulturists   Vineyard Team announces a limited-space, intimate conversation with Cornell University’s distinguished researcher on precision viticulture, Dr. Terry Bates. On Monday, November 13, 2023, preceding the first day of the in-person Sustainable Ag Expo, Dr. Bates will lead a discussion on technology in the hands of viticulturists. The conversation will examine the metaphorical connection between lightsabers and skilled vine cultivators, and discuss how cutting-edge tools could transform modern viticulture. In 2021, the Precision Viticulture market was valued at $1,528.56 million US dollars. It is projected grow at a 9.17% compound annual growth rate over the next seven years, reaching $3,308.66 Million US dollars by 2030.

This monthly webinar series for Eastern growers and winemakers was launched in the Fall of 2019 and continued until April 2021. Organized by researchers at Cornell AgriTech, Virginia Tech Extension, and Penn State Extension, these webinars brought together university researchers, grape growers and winemakers across the country, and the decision was made for staff at the three universities to hold a similar Forum series in 2022. The webinars will cover the latest in research results in viticulture and enology and focus on concepts that underlie the practical aspects of growing grapes and making wine, and they are open to grape growers and winemakers wherever they are located.  The schedule for the remaining six webinars and recordings of previous webinars can be found at: https://blogs.cornell.edu/grapes/home/eastern-viticulture-and-enology-forum where a link connects to the 2021-2022 schedule of the webinars and the unique registration link for each of those webinars.  The f
