If you haven’t already had to deal with drought or water restrictions at your vineyard, it’s inevitable you will at some point in the future. That’s why we’ve put together a list of practical tips to help you run your grape vines under these conditions.
Here at Lumo, we talk a lot about the water scarcity and concerns in California because that’s where we’re based. However, we know we certainly don’t have the corner on the market when it comes to water shortages on a global scale.
Last month, Lumo’s CEO, Devon Wright, had the pleasure of speaking with host Dylan Garrett, Head of Climate Tech Business at Synapse.
California winegrowers and researchers are at the forefront of change when it comes to irrigation, although there’s still a long way to go
If you are a farmer in the United States, this five-step guide can help you prepare for water scarcity to minimize its impact on your crop production.
As the drought plaguing the American West endures for a third year, something unprecedented has occurred in the California state Senate: a written recognition that California’s water rights are over-allocated.
Like many other elements of American settlement, water was first-come, first-served. If you were smart, you settled on land with as much water as possible, giving you claim to valuable water rights.
Over the winery’s 21-year history, Jim Cushman— Park Farm Winery’s vineyard manager— has observed many of the same things other grape growers have within the region (and beyond) have when it comes to climate patterns
There is little doubt that a declining Colorado River will soon mean major changes to farming practices. The Bureau of Reclamation has asked the seven states that rely on the Colorado River to reduce their consumption by a total of 2 to 4 million acre feet of water over the next year.
As climate science progresses amid the further degradation of the Earth, it has become clear that climate change inevitably means less predictable and more extreme weather events resulting in more plant water stress.
