Sustainable Ag Expo Welcome Event Featuring an Exclusive Presentation  We are kicking off the Sustainable Ag Expo with a welcome event on Monday, November 11th, from 5:00-7:00pm at beautiful Center of Effort Winery in Arroyo Grande, California. Expo Headliner Fritz Westover presents, Dormant Grapevine Pruning & Vine Training: Are we Slowly Killing our Vines?  This intimate conversation delves into the critical impact pruning and training have on vine health, and discusses whether diseases or improper techniques are more detrimental. Attendees will walk away with pruning strategies that minimize disease. Westover will also share methods for in-season vine training and summer pruning to enhance vine longevity using a closed system approach.  After the presentation, enjoy a flight of SIP Certified wines and gourmet hors d'oeuvres from Alba Provisions while networking with fellow attendees. Sustainable Ag Expo ticket holders can claim two free tickets while supplies
